Hi Kennethv,

1. The Visual Keyboard layout is a new feature available in Premiere Pro CC 2017.

     To open Keyboard shortcuts window:

• In Windows, choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
• In Mac OS, choose Premiere Pro > Keyboard Shortcuts

2. Copy the keyboard shortcuts (.kys) file and paste into the required file location.

The location of the customized keyboard shortcuts file depends on whether you've signed in to  Creative Cloud Sync Settings in Premiere Pro CC or not.Signed into Creative Cloud Sync Settings

• Win: Users\[user name]\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\[version]\Profile-CreativeCloud-\Win\
• Mac: Users/[user name]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/[version]/Profile-CreativeCloud-/Mac/

Signed out of Creative Cloud Sync Settings

• Win: Users\[user name]\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\[version]\Profile-username\Win\
• Mac: Users/[user name]/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/[version]/Profile-username/Mac/

For further information, Please check the article Preset and customizable keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CC

Thanks,

Vidya Sagar.

I'm so tired that every tutorial I see about this shows a path inside WIN or MAC that does not coincide with my own.

I made a method that works out for everyone. Best way to find the location of the .kys you want to import:
-Go to Premiere, EDIT/KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS, press the "Save as" button, and put a name that is findable in the Windows Explorer (or Finder, in case it is a Mac). For example, "dhdiwodjoqd82392" COPY THAT NAME.
-Close Premiere
-Go to Windows Explorer (or Finder, in case it is a Mac), look for the name of the keyboard you created previously (PASTE IT, in case you copy it). 
-You will find the folder where your .kys file should be placed.
-Paste your file there.
