      A better smoother way to zoom in and out is holding Option or Alt + the Scroll Wheel, i find it faster for my workflow. Shift + Scroll Wheel is another good one too to scroll horizontally

      @@AikidoNotion I don't know if he mentioned this but an even better/faster way to zoom in and out is to activate the AZ button and just hit "R" and "T" on the keyboard to zoom in and out... That's the best way to do it

I made a list of every one of the shortcuts. I have used a lot of them over the last 12 years and forgot a bunch of them them over the last 12 years. I will hang the list on my studio desk and use it. Thanks again for taking the time to make your video.

    Thanks bud, although for laptop users you can also nudge with the comma and period under yellow active keyboard focus. Also to change the behaviour of the function keys F1 through F10 for your different edit and tool modes on a mac im pretty sure you can go to apple system settings and keyboard shortcuts to make them function as standard function keys.
