Or...you could buy these for your existing keyboards (Mac and laptop) and just use DP's own key commands...if having the shortcuts on the keyboard are the only reason you would be changing all of DPs commands to match PT.

Ah. Cool. Not that I can't remember all of DP's shortcuts. :D

Thanks

Thanks!
I have. I found it useful in that I didn't have to remember both any more. There are preset files lying around the net that let you import those straight in with some minor tweaks.

That's cool. I may try that. I use the main shortcuts now, but would like to start using a many as is practical.

Thanks
