After 1 or 2 years if I need to format of my Windows PC with a fresh installation, how can I keep my keyboard shortcuts that I configured manually?
Answer
Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts
Click one of the little “download” icons…
Left = Save As
Right = Save a Copy
This will place a file where you want it. Saving to the desktop is the easiest place.
Now merely drag that .kys
file onto the Photoshop application icon. Photoshop will ask you if you want to save the current key configuration… and then apply the .kys
settings.
Alternatively, you may be able to navigate to hdd/users/[you]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop (version)/Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts
and copy the .kys
files there and then place them in the same location after a reinstall.
In fact, I will generally just copy the entire Presets
folder and then replace it after a reinstall. Or copy it from a previous backup.
(Sorry I only know the Macintosh path.)
