Feature Request - Maintain Audio Pitch DEFAULT

I use the Retime feature somewhere between 300-400 times per project, so around 1,200 times per month. Whenever I retime a clip, I have never once not applied "Maintain Audio Pitch". I set my retime keyboard shortcut to 'R'. I like very much that the text field to type in your new percentage number is, by default, highlighted so that I do not have to switch over to my mouse to highlight the text field to type my new speed. I also love that if I select "Ripple Edit" under Retime just once in a project, it remains sticky and does it with every other clip I retime.

However I do have to switch over to my mouse every single time to select "Maintain Audio Pitch". It is painstaking and probably compounds to add an extra hour to my edit time just to make all these clicks. As far as I am aware there is no option to turn this on as the default setting.

 

Please, please, please - could Adobe add this, at least as an option. I know many other editors that would cry in relief for this feature to be added. If I could just be hovered over a clip and type "R > [percentage number] > Enter" to retime with Maintain audio pitch selected, I would gain back hours of my life per week, no exagerration. 

 

FEATURE REQUEST - Set "Maintain Audio Pitch" to be selected as default.  Or, if we select it once in a project, it will remain selected for for all other clips that you retime in that project. 

 

 

PLEASE
