Bug: F5 and F6 Keyboard Shortcut Commands Get Triggered Twice

I reported elsewhere that F6 did not work when assigning FIT in the Program Monitor.

https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/function-keys-not-working-as-shortcuts/idc-p/15084228#M43839

I am testing in PR 25.0.0. Today, F5 and F6 work for FIT.

Today, F5 and F6 work for label colors.

No clue what to make of this.

In another thread unrelated to function keys, a user was getting shortcuts firing twice. The default assignments were okay. Then the custom ones were okay; then not.

@IanB_360 Hm does your history panel only show a single action occurring when you press it? The problem isn't that it's not setting the color, it's that the action happens twice, as viewable in the history panel every time one of those shortcuts is pressed.

Here's a video of what I mean. I have F5 and F6 set to green and yellow, and I press each once, but the action shows up in the history panel twice for each:

Also there seems to be other issues with the F5 and F6 shortcuts because at least for me and MeyerPj, when assigning the "Add Edit" command to F5 or F6 it doesn't fire at all (it doesn't make a cut and doesn't show anything happening in the history panel).

Hi @ThioJoe 

I have been trying to recreate this on my Windows11 Machine using Premiere Pro 25.1 and so far have not been having any issues. I copied the steps you listed and assigned the F5 and F6 keys to a color. F5 yellow, F6 green. When I select a clip and hit F5 it changes to yellow and hitting F6 changes t to green. Is there some other step I might be missing in order to recreate the same problem you have had? Are you able to send us a video capture of your process and the results you are seeing?

Thank you

Ian

OK, just tried the same things on 25.1 (Win11-23H2), and get the same results. Add Edit, will not work on F5, F6, starting with the a new Adobe Premiere Pro Default KB short file.

Also, In the latest beta, which is what I use mostly 25.2.0 b76, using the Default KB Shorts, I was not able to get ADD Edit to work on either f5 and f6. I didn't use my main KB Shorts to test, so I still have the F6 Add Edit in my real file, and it works there, (carried over from other versions)

@jamieclarke  On Windows it occurred in both 2025 and 2024. On MacOS it just did it for 2024, not 2025.

So that difference was the operating system. I'll update the middle of the post to clarify that better.

Though MyerPj's reply made some observations that suggest there might be more strangeness at play with the keys in general. Like him I tried adding the "Add Edit" command to both F5 and F6 and neither of them fire at all with that.

So maybe the double action behavior is just for the label color commands, and for other commands those keys don't work at all 🤔 🤔 (I had only seen the double action with the label colors which is the first command I tested, so I must have been presumptuous to say 'Any Command' in my original post - I'll update that in the reproduction steps to be more specific)

it's not that simple. I'm using F6 for "Add Edit" and it only fires once. However, when I swith to PP default KB setting, I'm able to assign anything to F5 and F6, but nothing seems to work from them except Label color and it fires twice there per the OP.
