      Mr Clements, my old buddy!
      The Window>Preferences>Shortcuts panel does have an 'export' option that will allow you to sync your shortcuts for two computers. Export from one and import into the other and you'll be more "Insync" than a boy band.

      Regards, Ross

        Hey Rossie:

        Hope all is going well for you ... has the "Big Chill" set in yet?

        I know about the export function. I did do that already; however, I know that somethings didn't come across properly. That's why I wanted a summary so I could spot any missing or misasigned stuff.

          Well I wasn't totally delusional. I found a List Shorts in the Help Menu for my SU5.

          It was placed there via a rubyscript which works in SU6 too.

          Now is there a ruby guru that could add a print list function to this?

            I think that you can copy and paste the text into a text document and print it that way. I thought I remember having dne that before.

              Also, the file "Preferences.dat" that is created when you push the "export" button in the dialog, can be opened in a text editor like Notepad, and the shortcuts are listed there in a quite readable form.

                      I also noticed this recently when I exported my shortcuts to a colleague's PC. 90% of them came across fine, but a few didn't. Weird, this is one for the bug forum.

                          Here's a txt version of the "Introductory SketchUp Notes" I provide my students - these are the "default" shortcuts - you can easily change them to be whatever you want - there's also some additional information listed here as well - maybe this will help (& I hope I'm not infringing on any copyright laws by posting this):


                          start

                          To change units to decimal:
                          Window --> Model Info --> Units --> Format --> Decimal --> (close the dialog box)

                          To show toolbars:
                          View --> Toolbars --> Getting Started
                          View --> Toolbars --> Large Tool Set
                          View --> Toolbars --> Views

                          Note:
                          Status Bar – the long gray rectangular area at the bottom of the drawing area
                          Value Control Box – located on the right side of the status bar
                          Must press Enter to have a value accepted

                          Default Shortcuts:
                          T = Tools --> Tape measure
                          Space bar = Tools --> Select
                          S = Tools --> Scale
                          Q = Tools --> Rotate
                          P = Tools --> Push/Pull
                          B = Tools --> Paint Bucket
                          F = Tools --> Offset
                          M = Tools --> Move
                          E = Tools --> Eraser
                          CTRL + Z = Edit --> Undo
                          CTRL + T = Edit --> Select None
                          CTRL + A = Edit --> Select All
                          CTRL + Y = Edit --> Redo
                          CTRL + V = Edit --> Paste
                          G = Edit --> Make Component
                          Delete key = Edit --> Delete
                          CTRL + X = Edit --> Cut
                          CTRL + C = Edit --> Copy
                          R = Draw --> Rectangle
                          L = Draw --> Line
                          C = Draw --> Circle
                          A = Draw --> Arc
                          Z = Camera --> Zoom
                          H = Camera --> Pan
                          O = Camera --> Orbit


                          end

                          If you really want something you won't ever stop pursuing it.
