Hi

I have a set of shortcut keys, I've going to be using a different mac for the next couple of weeks - can i export these shortcut keys and then add them to Ai on a different computer?

When I google this subject it just brings up loads of info on how to set shortcut keys etc

Kind regards,

Paul.

Hi Monika,

Below is an image of the folders path  - I can't see the folder / path you mean?

Thanks,

Paul


You need to open the Library folder in your user folder.

You can export all your settings via Edit > Export settings.

Or you can just save the shortcut set and then grab it from the folder where it gets saved in the preferences.

Hi Monika,

I've got them saved already, where is the folder where it gets saved to?  I can't seem to find it?  I'm on a Macbook.

Thanks

Paul.

Since Apple thinks you can't handle the Library, you need to press the Alt key, then select Go To > Library. In there, open the Preferences folder, then the Illustrator [whatever the version] preferences. Look for a .kys file with the name you set up.
