Feature to export custom Keyboard Shortcuts
Those of us that frequently customize our Key commands and want to easily transfer them to other versions of Illustrator.

First of all, I can't search 'kys' on drive C.
There is a button to save the shortcut, but there is no button to the save location. And I hope there is an easy way to send it so that it can be moved to another computer.
Please be responsible for compatibility with Mac and compatibility with Windows.
Designers sometimes use two computers.
Please also make sure to inform us where the key file saved by Mac is located.
like windows,
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 27 Settings\ko_KR\x64 -
One can grab the keyboard shortcuts .kys file directly in the app folder and back it up.
The Mac’s path is <OSDisk>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator <version number> Settings/<locale>/Adobe Illustrator PrefsI assume you mean an interface option to export and import this, directly in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, correct?

It would be great to be able to export our custom Key Shortcuts so as to keep a backup copy of the .kys file.

At the moment we can grab the .kys file directly from the settings folder.
On Windows:
<OSDisk>/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator <version number> Settings/<locale> (e.g. en_US)/<Name>
On Mac:
<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator <version number> Settings\<locale> (e.g. en_US)\x64\<Name>You can get the full list of all places and the paths Illustrator uses here:
