Keyboard Shortcut for setting keyframes

I've done a fair bit of googling on the subject of setting a keyboard shortcut for creating keyframes, but have not found the definitive answer.

No doubt there is some URL that will tell how its done or if it can be done, and I may well be beating a well answered question here. 

I don't find such an answer.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to create a keyboard shortcut to set keyframes, or if one already exists.

I've grepped the full list of keyboard shortcuts (from printed out text file of all of them) and do not see much about keyframes.

    If it's possible, you'll do it via Edit>Keyboard Customization...

    If it ain't there, it ain't anywhere.

    Solution: If you have a Logitech XM Ergo Mouse (or Wacom Tablet, or other accessory with programmable buttons) you can go to the device's settings. Select Premiere Pro from the applications list. Select the button you want to program for keyframing. Choose: Advanced Click: Click, Ctrl.

    Done.

    For years I've been asking adobe to implement a quicker way to create motiion, effects, or sound keyframes.  It's silly to have to keep going back to the effects controls in order to do this. Final Cut 7 allowed you to create a keyframe from the timeline with a keystroke, without having to navigate to a specific attribute. You were also able to adjust the position of the keyframe within the timeline.

    Also, ...please create a better Media browser.

      What does it mean when you say "If it ain't there it ain't anywhere"

      Do you mean it might not be possible after all or what?

      Do you know for sure if it is or is not possible?

      I've looked around in that area quite a bit without seeing how I might set a keyboard combo that would insert a keyframe.

      I've reduced all the kb shortcuts to 1 large text file, in that file the word keyframe appears in two places, line 438 and 439 under `effects control' panel.  You can set a keyboard combo to `snap to video or audio keyframes'

      I think you have to click the little keyframe thing and thats that....

      weird...at first I thought you were talking about keyframes for groups of pictures (gop ) or something..

      I think what you see in the menu for "keyboard" setup is basically the only stuff you can change and create "new" shortcuts etc...so thats why Jim said " if its not there...you cant do it "  basically...

      good luck
