Keyboard shortcuts that actually save time?

Default keyboard shortcuts in Resolve feel clunky compared to Premiere. What shortcuts have you customized or which default ones do you use the most? Looking for stuff that actually speeds up editing not just nice to know tricks.

Ctrl+Shift+[ and ] for ripple trim to playhead. Use it constantly. Also Shift+V for paste attributes and Alt+X to reset in/out points. These three alone probably save me 30 minutes per project.

M for marker, Shift+Z for zoom to fit timeline, P for position mode when you dont want ripple. And set up a custom shortcut for toggling proxy mode if you work with heavy footage.

Oh and Alt+drag a clip to duplicate it on the timeline. Way faster than copy paste. Game changer for music videos where you repeat sections.
