Standard keyboard layouts in FCP

I have recently lost all my shortcuts in FCP from my keyboard. Although I have worked out how to restore a few simple ones, I don't have time to try and re-enter all the generic settings that come with the standard FCP keyboard layout. The mac in the office next to me stil has all these shortcuts and I was wondering if there was a way to copy over those shortcuts in the form of a keyboard layout?? If so, how do you do this? Is there a layout file somewhere in preferences?

press Option H, or choose Tools > Keyboard Layout > Customize
the Keyboard Layout window opens
click the padlock button at the bottom left of that window .. the message to the right of that button should then say "The keyboard layout is currently unlocked..."
then press the Reset... button
you get a warning dialog ... click OK
close the eyboard Layout window
you should now have reverted to the default keyboard layout

Danny,
I believe you'll find this file in:
Home > Library > Preferences > Final Cut Pro User Data > Button Bars.
Grab the Custom Button Bars file out of that folder (unless it's named something else) and put it in the same folder on your machine. Then, click on your button bar and choose "load all button bars" and choose that file.
