For a limited time you can DOWNLOAD my settings file from my Dropbox ( Link to a free 2.25 GB free Dropbox account) if you think you can use it.
My own sets are named like this: sigurarm_IllustratorCS5_KeyboardShortcuts_110329.kys Keep a copy of this file in another place where you can access it from anywhere and you won’t loose it. One good thing to remember is that this settings file can be found on the mac in ~/User/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB/ (The en_GB part may be different between countries).
The main reason for this date order is for the sets to be sorted in alphabetical order if we make many. Your name, the application, version number and the date in reversed order YYMMDD. As soon as you have made the first change you will have to save your changed set under a new name. You are not allowed to change the Default set. Just go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts… and start typing in shortcuts you want to add or change. It’s very easy to change a keyboard shortcut. And I might be able to save you some time. I have spent some (er… huge rather) time through the years to correct this. This has in fact been a problem forever in previous versions, not only in Illustrator but in all the Creative Suite. There is a problem however that the default shortcuts are made for the US keyboard and if one is using a different “foreign” keyboard layout some very important shortcuts will not work unless you change them. Illustrator 15 (CS5) comes with a load of ready made shortcuts which can save you a lot of time.
