Shortcut for closing caption box after editing

@Arne_B are you on the latest version of Premiere Pro ? (23.5?) There were some improvements around the shortcut handling very recently.

Just to confirm - you start playback (via space) - then stop when you want to edit - press "return" to enter edit mode - make the correction - press escape to confirm the edit - press play again to continue until you are on a word you want to edit ?

Best regards,

I tried to use Enter to edit, but with the Text panel active, it just jumps back with playback from the start of the sequence

That was what I was looking for! Thank you!

@Alexander Riss,

omg. I was so intent on looking at all the new shortcuts, I missed the classic. Thank you!

@Arne_B, Thanks for calling attention to this workflow. I see now that with focus in the Captions tab and autoscroll on, as the timeline plays, with or without a caption selected in the timeline, the caption under the playhead shows a blue bar in the Captions tab. Hitting Enter enters edit mode for that caption, even as the timeline continues to play. A quick edit can be made without even stopping playback.

Upvoted.

Many keyboard shortcuts specific to the Text Panel were added as part of the text-based editing workflow. But I do not see one that would accomplish this. And you are correct: this is a major time saver (/waster!).

@Kerstin Ebert @Alexander Riss Are we missing something? Is there another feature request for this already? I don't see one.
