ArcGIS PRO Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts for editing—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop provides a list of editing methods short cuts. Are there keyboard shortcuts (or a way to create my own) that activate various editing tools? Instead of clicking on the ribbon to select a tool, I'd like to just hit f6 for vertices, or f7 for reshape etc, etc.....
eta: just found this link: ArcGIS Pro - Create Custom Toolbars and Hotkeys but I don't see what I'm looking for....
Here are a couple of things you can try and decide which works best for you.
1. Probably the best in terms of having a shortcut would be to just set up custom accelerators for your editing commands. Customize the ribbon options—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop That will be like creating your own shortcuts for the tools you use most.
In the gif below I've set Alt+V to activate the Vertices tool. BUT, before I do that, I wanted to show that there is some really good functionality built into the right-click menu in your map view. For example, I can easily switch between the Explore tool to the Select tool without moving back up to the ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar just by right clicking. Once I've selected a feature/features, if I right click again, the context is different because we know we have a selection to work with, so now I get most commonly used editing tools. So though not a shortcut "key" I think this is a handy thing to know. And at the end, you can't see the keystrokes but I use Alt+V to activate Vertices.
2. You can add editing tools to your Quick Access Toolbar and then use built-in Accessibility to get to access keys using Alt: Use ArcGIS Pro with a keyboard—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop
So above I could use Alt+7 to activate Vertices, Alt+8 to Split and Alt+9 to Merge.
3. Again with accessibility (but not shortcuts) use Alt+E to open the Edit tab, then TG to open the Tool Gallery and then the arrow keys to select the tool you want and Enter to activate.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I hope that was clear for my #3 above. That is about the ability to access commands by using the keyboard only. Not a shortcut
