The Viewer monitor has two time code fields: Duration and Playback. I’ve always clicked in those fields to modify them and thought it was tedious considering Final Cut Pro has so many keyboard shortcuts. I discovered a shortcut yesterday.
Make the Viewer active. Press [Tab] once to enter the Duration field; press [Tab] a second time to enter the Playback field; press [Tab] a third time to place focus on the clip itself.
