Symptom
Standard Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express keyboard shortcuts, such as those for the Zoom In Tool, Selection Tool, Toggle Windows and Toggle Wireframes, appear in menus to be linked to unusual or nonstandard keys.
This also can affect shortcuts such as Undo, Close Window, Select All, and Quit.
Products affected
- Final Cut Pro 4
- Final Cut Pro HD 4.5
- Final Cut Express 2.0
Solution
Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express determine the default keyboard shortcuts based on the language that the computer is running in, for example only the default shortcuts for Belgian, French, Swiss French and other French language keyboard layout shortcuts are available when running Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Express in French.
As a partial workaround, create a custom keyboard layout using the Keyboard Layout options from the Tools menu. However it is not possible to reassign shortcuts to the key combinations to which the Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste and Abort are assigned.
