Keyboard shortcut for the choices in "Mix Paste"?

Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to "Mix Paste" + "Overwrite" in the dialog? I would prefer not to have to press "Enter" to confirm that I want to Overwrite. I couldn't find a way in the Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts...maybe there's a solution in the operating system?

    You are correct in thinking that there aren't any keyboard shortcuts for the various Mix Paste options. However it might be possible to record Mix Paste/Overwrite as a Favorite and assign a keyboard shortcut to the new Favorite.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, and while it is possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to a favorite, the duration aspect of the Mix-Paste seems to confuse Audition. I get an error, something about the time duration. Oh well, nice try -- thanks anyway!

    If you get that error it usually means that you haven't got anything copied into the clipboard for Audition to Mix Paste. What are you actually needing to mix paste overwrite into your audio?

    There are some not so straight forward options surrounding how and where custom  Favorites get inserted into the audio file. There was a similar thread about making a shortcut for reducing the level of a selected portion of audio in this thread How to reduce gain in a selected area with a hotkey? Just substitute your Mix Paste/Overwrite effect for the Amplify effect and see if that works.
