Pro CC and Audition CC. To open the editor, choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.

and cannot be reassigned: A, AA, E, EE, F, FF, L, LL, M, MM, P, PP, R, RR, S, SS, T, TT, U,

shortcuts: Application-wide shortcuts are shaded in purple; panel-specific shortcuts are shaded in
green. Keys shaded in both purple and green have both panel and application commands
assigned to them.
