Keyboard shortcut for: View > Show Captions

If it is not available in the Commands window, you can add it via the System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts.

Wait!!!

I don't see any View>Show Captions in the application. Care to post a screenshot?

Ok, now I see what you mean.

I can't see a way to add this directly in Final Cut Pro.

You can, however, add it in System Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts->App Shortcuts.

Press +, select Final Cut Pro as the application, enter the exact wording, in this case "Show Captions" (without the quotes), and press the desired shortcut. For this example, I used command-control-shift-option-C

(be careful not to choose one that is used for something else).

It works! See:
