Creating Shortcut Key to toggle a video clip's opacity from 0 - 100%

[FuturesP]

A feature I miss the most since migrating from FCPx to PP is the ability to "hide" or "mute" a clip (audio or video) allowing me to see a clip below in the timeline during playback.  A quick strike of the 'V' key and voila!  Is there a way to create a shortcut or a quick key that will toggle a selected clip's opacity between 0 - 100% without having to go into the "effects" panel to do so manually.

There is no shortcut for what you want to do.

You can poke the eye during playback.

The feature that you're talking about is disabling/enabling a clip in the Timeline.

In your Timeline, Select a clip or clips and choose Clip > Enable to hide the clip or clips.  If "Enable" is checked (the default), the clip is enabled.  If "Enable" is unchecked, the clip is disabled.

The keyboard shortcut is ⇧+⌘+E (shift command E) on Mac.  (Should be shit control E on Windows.)

Using the above information, I changed the keyboard shortcut to use the quick key "D" to enable/disable a selected clip, because who has time to mash your hand together to make a 3-key command when just one finger will do.  Love it.  Thank you.
