Here are a bunch of shortcuts to Adobe Premiere. I kept both Mac & PC codes because I use premiere on both.

Some of the codes I’m most familiar with is CTRL Z for undo, CTRL C for copy, CTRL V for paste, CTRL S for Save and CTRL SHIFT Z for Redo. Those are all standard amongst most programs, so it’s easy to remember.

Some of the codes I’ve only just discovered are SHIFT DELETE for ripple delete. I had no idea what a ripple was before a few weeks ago, and finding out that I can snap my clips together with a command key is awesome. Another one I like is CTRL R for speed/duration, which I use a lot making videos. Other highlights for me are CTRL E, which opens the original clip from a sequence into quicktime, CTRL M for exporting and most simply ENTER for rendering a sequence. I don’t know how I never came across that by accident, but it’s a really handy one to know.
