Select In to Out is mappable to the keyboard….

I struggle with the same question. A simple shift + D with function like "Add to selection" would do. Or even selecting a range of clips based on first clip and the playhead position.

I dont mind using mouse and shift clicks, but I mainly work with Loupedeck+ device and this missing selection forces me to switch between regular keyboard and Loupedeck..

If you didn't use your mouse to select the clips, how would the keyboard shortcut know which clips to select?

Unless you want to select all the clips on unlocked tracks on the timeline, which would be Command (Control) + A.

If you want to select multiple clips with the mouse, hold the shift key down when clicking on the clips, or click down and drag across them.

is there a way to press D on the clip and then move to the next clip and select it as well keeping the original selected? and go through and select multiple clips?

As far as I know, I don't think so.

You can use Command (Control) + Up Arrow to select the previous clip on the same track, and

Command (Control) + Down Arrow to select the next clip on the same track, but doing so will unselect the original clip.

Maybe someone else knows a way.

If not, and this is something you want added to Premiere, you can file a feature request:
