Fusion Page — Map It Yourself

6 commands

Almost all individual Fusion node types have no dedicated shortcut — you always go through the Shift+Space search popup. The commands below let you skip that popup for your most-used nodes. The suggested keys use Shift+ prefixes to avoid collisions with Fusion's existing single-key bindings.

Add Merge Node directly
suggest+M
Add Transform Node directly
suggest+T
Add Background Node directly
suggest+B

Fairlight Page — Map It Yourself

6 commands

Fairlight has some of the largest gaps in Resolve's default shortcut coverage. Most panel toggles, EQ, and AI audio tools have no hotkey at all. If you spend serious time in Fairlight these are worth binding immediately.
