Custom Keyboard Shortcuts

Would love LOVE to be able to customize keyboard shortcuts, I'm left handed and your right handed focused defaults are ok, but would love to make my own. Thanks!

And please make the 'mute' button mappable to a keyboard shortcut so I don't have to click on screen every time I mute a breath.

Please give the ability to assign different keys shortcuts. It would be much easier to assign a key used by my left hand to delete segments.

Ability to re-route keyboard shortcuts to our choice, i believe, is a priority for many, especially when migrating from a different platform. Having keys like J,K,L is second hand nature for many, so please add this feature! Thank you!

Dvorak typist. Need to be able to remap QWR to ',. or better yet ,.p, the equiv of wer which is even less finger movement.

I'm using Shift-Cmd-O a lot to delete podcast crosstalk. Then I have to hit Cmd-[ to go back. This is over complicated. I'd love to have ONE Cmd-Key that toggles between the two modes...

George Silverman

Steve Ewing: How you found a workaround? I'm thinking of TextExpander set to Descript only. Will try.

I've been able to rework cmd+k and use type text with Keyboard Maestro. It's pretty good, but the script text tends to like to jump around after I use these key sequences. It like to move to the top or to the bottom. Very odd behavior. Scripting, Shortcuts, and 3rd party tools should be considered. Tools like Keyboard Maestro work well on OSx if the client's respect the operating system rules. As for the PC platform... I'm not sure... I like how DaVinci Resolve shows a keyboard shortcut cue card and lets you pick hotkeys that make sense. I also like Key Cue on the mac. It gives a shortcut list as shown here:

I like the thought of the keyboard shortcuts being all in a row that the left hand can rest on easily, but I use the DVORAK keyboard layout, so my Q is on the X key and the W is on the comma key, so I'm all the time jumping around the keyboard.

Not to mention delete should be a hot key too :)

George Silverman

Dustin Hartzler: I also use the DVORAK keyboard. Have you found a solution? Another post says that Keyboard Maestro is erratic. I'm thinking maybe Textexpander?

Dustin Hartzler

George Silverman: Nope. And now that I'm using the beta storyboard option, all the keyboard shortcuts that I've used and grown accustomed to have changed, aarrgh!

moving clips up and down is very exhausting without a hot key :(

Right now whenever I hit Command + R to reload a chrome page it launches Descript & starts a screen recording. How can I turn this off...?
