152 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

To load a customized keyboard layout:

1 Copy the keyboard layout file to your computer.

The default location where these files are stored is: [Home]/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, suppose 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. If you 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.
