Can we get keyboard shortcuts? Please

It would be great if the software provided keyboard shortcuts for things like trimming, clip speed, multi-cam selection, etc. It takes way too many mouse clicks to edit multi-camera footage and I'm constantly having to click back and forth between the various "Editing" screens.

As an added bonus, it would be super awesome if Touch Bar support/customization was integrated into the software. A guy can dream.

This is a great idea, and something that's been on our list for a while, but has never quite made the cut for a release.

As a discussion topic, what are the most important shortcuts to you and the keys you expect to find them on? (i.e. Ctrl/Cmd + C = Copy)

As a starting point, here's my list. I'm totally open to others' recommendations for the key shortcut but these are the functions that I would find most useful. Please feel free to add to or modify the list!
