Add Keyboard Shortcut for "Solo Audio Track" and "Solo Selected Audio Clip"

I would like to request two highly useful audio features in Adobe Premiere Pro that are triggered via keyboard shortcuts:

  1. Solo Audio Track via Shortcut:
    A keyboard shortcut that solos the currently selected audio track(s) — muting all others. This would function similarly to how "S" works in Adobe Audition or other DAWs, allowing for fast isolation of a single track without needing to manually mute/unmute others.

  2. Solo Selected Audio Clip via Shortcut:
    A keyboard shortcut to solo the currently selected audio clip(s) in the timeline. Pressing the shortcut would temporarily mute all other audio clips and tracks, letting the user preview and fine-tune only what’s selected.

Why This Is Important:
Currently, isolating audio requires manually muting or soloing tracks, which breaks editing flow. Adding these shortcut-based solo options would:

  • Speed up audio editing, especially in complex timelines

  • Eliminate the need to navigate the mixer or toggle track buttons

  • Bring Premiere Pro in line with other professional audio tools

These features would be small additions with a huge impact on editing efficiency.

These shortcut commands might be sort of what you're looking for:

 

Those act on "targeted" tracks which are ones selected like this though:

 

So it doesn't work by clip, but rather tracks. But you'd just need to put different types of audio on different tracks to sort of categorize them.
