A PC's shortcuts are written to the Registry.
You can export, then import them as a .dat file.

On a MAC it's the .plist that stores these.

It's format is different too.

Perhaps a MAC aficionado can comment on this.
They might know of a PC to MAC shortcut translator - but I am not overly hopeful

Thank you . . .I'll stop beating my head against this particular wall and just get on with learning the rest of Mr. Bremer's excellent plugin. Cheers, Anthony

On a Mac the Preferences is under the SketchUp menu

Thanks for the fast reply.

Yes . . . under SketchUp>Preferences>Shortcuts I did add F2 shortcut key for the function, Camera/Standard Views/Front,and F3 for Camera/Zoom Extents. Those functions were already present in the function list by default. As yet I have not found a way to add more functions or import Mr. Bremer's recommended shortcuts.dat file into SketchUp 2015 on a Mac OS X 10.10.5. Apparently, only the SketchUp program can use the data it contains as I have not found a way to open it from my desktop to see what functions and shortcut keys it lists.

I want to import Clark Bremer's shortcuts.dat into SketchUp 2015 on Mac OS 10.10.5. In Mr. Bremer's manual entitled"Timber Frame Design using Google Sketchup for TF Rubies version 2.2," he says to go to SketchUp's main menu bar and open Window/Preferences/Shortcuts/Import. The problem is I cannot find Preferences in the Window menu. Can someone help me with this?
