How do you customize and export keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro?

• A. Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, then export as a .kys file
• B. Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, map actions to keys, then save/export as a .kys file to share with others
• C. Window > Keyboard Shortcuts, then save as .kbd
• D. File > Export > Shortcuts Package

Answer: (B)

Customizing keyboard shortcuts is done through the Keyboard Shortcuts editor, which is accessed from the Edit menu (on Mac it’s under Premiere Pro > Keyboard Shortcuts). In that dialog you can search for actions, assign or reassign keys by pressing the keys you want, and tailor the workflow to your liking. Once you’ve set up your shortcuts, you export the layout as a .kys file so you can reuse it later or share it with others—loading that .kys file on another system will apply the same key mappings. The other paths described don’t reflect how Premiere Pro handles shortcut customization: accessing the editor from the wrong menu, or exporting or saving in an incorrect format (.kbd) or via a non-existent Shortcuts Package path.
