The secret is in the Source Monitor.
Alex Macleod, writing in the Nov/Dec 2019 issue of KitPlus, pointed out this super-quick way to review and edit clips.
First, keep these keyboard shortcuts in mind:
- Shift + 1. Makes the Project Panel active
- Shift + 2. Makes the Source Panel active
- Shift + 3. Makes the Timeline active
- Shift + 4. Makes the Program Monitor active.
Second, remember you can load multiple clips into the Source Monitor by:
- Selecting the clips you want to open in the Project panel
- Control-click one of the selected clips and choose Open in Source Monitor
Third, as you review these clips in the Source Monitor:
- Press I to set an In
- Press O to set an Out
- Press period [ . ] to edit the clip into the active track in the Timeline.
Everything you need to edit your clips without once touching the mouse.

If you continue to hold down the shift key and hit the ~ key after selecting the panel, it will show “full screen”.

You are correct. In fact, there are three different behaviors of the Tilde key – by itself, with Shift and with Option.
