Railcut includes four shortcut preset lists — Premiere (default), DaVinci Resolve , Final Cut Pro , and After Effects — and lets you fully customize any shortcut or save your own preset list.
To change your preset or customize shortcuts, click the Keyboard Shortcuts
Mac users: Railcut uses the Ctrl key (^), not Command, for all shortcuts. This is because After Effects intercepts Command key shortcuts before CEP panels can receive them. All Ctrl+ shortcuts in this reference mean the physical Ctrl key on your keyboard.
A dash (—) means the shortcut is not available in that preset.
