In Premiere Pro CS5 and CS5.5, there is a FCP keyboard shortcuts set. More info on that here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro ... 01506FBDDa
That is a great facility and for many certainly facilitates the transition.
Personally (and having been programming commercially since 1967) I always try to 'bite the bullet' and go along with whatever the software defaults happen to be. In my experience customizing usually takes a lot more time (both in the first instance and every time it has to be repeated after reinstalls, software magically loses customizations, switching to another machine temporarily, etc) than you can ever reap in return. Usually those defaults are there for good reasons based on the working experience of the community involved and paddling with your own unique and familiar paddle might seem OK to start with but suddenly you realize you're going upstream and it's getting harder and harder because you're different and things no longer fit smoothly together. One day someone on a forum says "just press Ctrl+Alt+Cmd+Shift+5+F14+?" to achieve your objective you have to remember you customized everything and doing it your way is going to result in an industrial injury...
Anyway, my Swiss-French keyboard has enough challenges in itself when it comes to shortcuts!
