2 In the Save dialog, enter a new name for the layout if you want and choose where to

save it, then click Save.

The default name is Custom Keyboard Layout. The default location where these files are

stored is: /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Keyboard Layouts/.

3 If a file with the specified name already exists in that location, a message appears asking

if you want to replace the file. If so, click Replace; otherwise, click Cancel and rename the

file, then click Save.

When you import a custom keyboard layout, all existing shortcuts are replaced by those

in the custom keyboard layout.

To load a customized keyboard layout

1 Copy the keyboard layout file to your computer.

The default location where these files are stored is:

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Keyboard Layouts/.

2 Choose Tools > Keyboard Layout > Load Keyboard Layout.

3 In the Choose a File dialog, navigate to the location where the keyboard layout is stored,

then click Choose.

When you open the custom Keyboard Layout window, the title bar indicates that the

layout is imported and displays the name of the layout.

Using Different Keyboards and Languages

You can set up your keyboard for use with a language and layout different from the one

it shipped with using the International pane in System Preferences. For information on

how to use a specific keyboard layout, see Mac Help.

When you customize a keyboard, the keyboard shortcuts you create apply to the currently

selected language. (The keyboard layout is also listed at the top of the Keyboard Layout

window.) If you are switching among multiple languages, make sure you choose the right

one before setting up shortcuts for commands.

Important: The physical keyboard you’re using is detected by Mac OS X as soon as you

connect it to your computer, and while you can switch between multiple languages, the

position of the key on the keyboard takes precedence over the letter that’s assigned to

that key due to the selected language. For example, if you set up the default U.S. keyboard

so the A key (three rows up and two keys in from the left) is the shortcut for a ripple

delete and then switch to another keyboard language, such as French, that key is now

the Q key, but when you press it, the keyboard shortcut remains ripple delete.
