Hello.

I defined and changed some keys in Photoshop and I want to reinstall my Photoshop but I don't like to redefine all of hotkeys and changes that I applied to it. How can I save and import them?

Thank you.

    If you are reinstalling to the same computer, I think a lot of stuff remains unchanged.  For instance I have settings for three versions, and would have a lot more but I moved from Windows 7 to 10 between CC 2014 and CC 2015.

    This is what I still have in the CC 2015.5 Presets folders

    I don't know if the above is true if you use the Cleaner tool when reinstalling.

    Hi

    From the keyboard shortcuts menu save the shortcuts

    In Windows they are saved here so it is easy to copy them temporarily and load them into a new build

    C:> ​Username > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC2017 > Presets > Keyboard Shortcuts
