Transferring Keyboard Shortcuts from Audition CS6 on Windows to Mac

[LaSalamander]

Before I set about the painstaking task of manually duplicating (and translating) all my keyboard shortcuts for my Windows installation of Audition CS6 to my Mac version, is there any way to do this automatically or even somewhat automatically? I'm using Windows 10 and Mac OS X El Capitan, if that makes any difference.

Thanks Audition folks!

All your keyboard shortcuts are stored as .xml files in the Shortcut folder in Audition's Settings folder. So you should be able to copy them across. For Windows they are in "C:\Users\'username'\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0\Shortcuts" Never quite sure where OSX hides them but it is somewhere similar in Libraries I believe.

Thanks so much, ryclark. But for the life of me, I can't find the Mac location. There's a /Users/'username'/Documents/Adobe/Audition/5.0 and a /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Audition/5.0 folder. But neither of them seem to have Shortcut folders or .xml files in them.

Just as an experiment, try picking the file up and dropping it on the Audition icon when the program's closed. This used to work, but I haven't tried it lately...

Thanks for the suggestion, SteveG, but I tried it and my Mac would have none of that silliness.

When it worked, it was far from silly - saved a lot of messing about, and did a sensible update of what was already there. But thinking about it, this was before there was a Mac version. Also back then (but not now) it wouldn't have worked for keyboard shortcuts anyway; they were stored in registry entries, and were rather harder to export.
