To create your own keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro, you need two things, a hand, and a keyboard.
The first thing you do is to click “opt + cmd + K” on your keyboard simultaneously, or “Ctrl + Alt + K” on PC.
You can also find this window in the menu under "Premiere Pro".
Here you have a list of all your commands and shortcuts in the bottom left corner, a visual view of a keyboard to see what shortcuts you have and if you click any of the keys in this keyboard layout, all the commands that are assigned to that key will be shown in the bottom right corner.
So, let's say you want to create a shortcut for increasing the volume of a clip.
If you search for "Volume" and then click next to “Nudge volume +1dB”, an empty box will get selected.
If you now hold down any of the modifier keys, which are the dark grey keys you can see on the screen, you will see all the shortcuts (or key combinations) where that modifier key is used.
As you can see, if you hold down “opt + cmd”, you can see that the key 1 is available, so I'm going to click 1 while still holding down “opt” and cmd” and now you have assigned the shortcut “alt + opt + 1” to this command.
Now, your shortcut is created and if you want to remove it again, just click the little cross inside this square.
