If yes:

 

Copying keyboard shortcut sets
Keyboard shortcut sets (*.indk) are saved in two locations. The application preset shortcuts appear in the Presets folder in the main application folder. The shortcut sets you create appear in the Shortcut Sets folder in the following locations:

  • Windows
    Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\[Version]\[Language]\InDesign Shortcut Sets
  • Mac OS
    Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/[version]/[language]/InDesign Shortcut Sets

 

If you created a keyboard shortcut set on one computer and want to use it on a different computer, copy the *.indk file to the same location on the other computer.

Since InDesign 19.4 you can also Export/Import user settings via the File > User Settings menu. I think this includes your keyboard shortcuts, too.

Hi @suryakant256115023evw:

 

Are you asking how to share your custom list of Adobe InDesign keyboard shortcuts with your colleagues?
