This just shows how ignorant the designers of FCP are. The king of design want
their users to get RSI, don't they? I mean, who assigns a shortcut which will
be one of the most used, to a two-key combination? No one in their right mind.
Anyway, to the OP (Sam), do yourself a big favour, and remap the key to a
single keystroke. I put this command to the /-key (it's because it's the
default key for splicing on Discreet Edit 5, and a handy reminder to the fact
that I want to "slash" the clip). Anyway, FCP is full of such oddities, and
again, I recommend you to remap your keys to something more logical. You can
always export your favourite keyboard-layout to disk, and carry it with you, in
case you'll end up editing on another machine (where you can import it).
