Faster timeline playback

Hello. I wanted to know if there is a way to speed up timeline playback without clicking the J, K, L keys and without changing the speed of the clips, in order to review the entire video faster. Thank you.

You can create a Custom command. Go to Final Cut Pro > Commands > Customize. Search for "Play Rate". Find an unused key command and apply it. There are 6 rates (forward) that you can set up (and 6 reverse rates). The spacebar or the K key will always stop playback.
