Convert Avid keyboard settings into FCP?

Hey all. Does anybody have an idea about how to export my Avid Adrenaline keyboard layout settings and import it into FCP? I prefer FCP, but I use Avid at work, and am having a tough time keeping up with the differences in hotkey commands. Any ideas?

I used to have to go back and forth two...and it took a little bit to adjust my thinking each time. I haven't found a way to map all the Avid commands to the FCP board..because they really have different commands for most things, as they both do things differently. What I ended up doing is mapping both with similar commands in the same spots. But the trim commands, effects commands and more all ALL different.

Thank goodness I am only on one machine now.

Print a screenshot of your Avid keyboard settings, then go into FCP and customize the keyboard as much as you'd like using your printout as a guide-- or not.
