Navigate Adobe Premiere Pro quickly and efficiently with Keyboard shortcuts. They let you switch between panels, access tools, and perform tasks without relying on a mouse device. By mastering these shortcuts, you can streamline your workflow and focus more on creating great edits.

A blue line around a panel indicates that the focus is on that panel.
Use shortcuts to perform tasks within the panel once the panel has focus.
For example, in the Timeline panel, do the following:
Select Keyboard Shortcuts in the Edit menu (Windows) or the Premiere Pro menu (macOS).
Use the Tilde key to expand the keyboard panel.
Explore the list of shortcuts to find what you need faster.
Use Tab to move through options in a dialog box.
Use the Arrow keys to cycle through choices for a specific option.
Use Ctrl+Tab (Windows and macOS) to focus on the category list if the dialog box has a category list (like the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog). Then, use the Arrow keys to move up or down.
Use Enter to confirm your selection and close the dialog box.
Use the mouse device for these tasks that aren’t accessible through keyboard shortcuts.
