00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.09

- [Instructor] In this

movie, I'll show you how



2

00:00:01.09 --> 00:00:04.08

to install my custom

dekeKeys keyboard shortcuts



3

00:00:04.08 --> 00:00:07.04

for Illustrator running on the PC.



4

00:00:07.04 --> 00:00:08.08

If you're working on the Mac,



5

00:00:08.08 --> 00:00:11.02

then go ahead and skip to the next movie.



6

00:00:11.02 --> 00:00:13.00

Now the great thing about these shortcuts,



7

00:00:13.00 --> 00:00:14.03

if I've counted things correctly,



8

00:00:14.03 --> 00:00:16.09

is that they're gonna

provide you with a total



9

00:00:16.09 --> 00:00:20.04

of 96 new and revamped keyboard shortcuts,



10

00:00:20.04 --> 00:00:22.01

which I'm really hoping will help you move



11

00:00:22.01 --> 00:00:24.05

through the software

that much more quickly.



12

00:00:24.05 --> 00:00:26.06

Now, notice that we've got two files



13

00:00:26.06 --> 00:00:29.08

that end in the extension .kys,



14

00:00:29.08 --> 00:00:32.04

one for the Mac and one for windows.



15

00:00:32.04 --> 00:00:33.09

You want the one for windows,



16

00:00:33.09 --> 00:00:37.01

and you wanna copy it to a

very specific folder location.



17

00:00:37.01 --> 00:00:39.01

And let me show you what that looks like.



18

00:00:39.01 --> 00:00:42.05

So here, we have the instructions

for installing dekeKeys.



19

00:00:42.05 --> 00:00:45.04

This first bullet item

tells you the steps you need



20

00:00:45.04 --> 00:00:47.04

to perform if you're working with Windows.



21

00:00:47.04 --> 00:00:50.05

Now notice the very specific

folder that we're looking for



22

00:00:50.05 --> 00:00:54.00

is this guy right here,

Illustrator 22 settings.



23

00:00:54.00 --> 00:00:56.05

And it's important to note that

this assumes you're working



24

00:00:56.05 --> 00:01:00.04

in the 2018 edition of Illustrator CC.



25

00:01:00.04 --> 00:01:01.07

And to confirm that's the case,



26

00:01:01.07 --> 00:01:05.03

go up to the help menu and

choose about Illustrator.



27

00:01:05.03 --> 00:01:08.05

Notice that the copyright

statement here near the top



28

00:01:08.05 --> 00:01:10.03

ends with 2018,



29

00:01:10.03 --> 00:01:14.00

and we can see that the

version number is 22.



30

00:01:14.00 --> 00:01:17.03

We do not care about any

numbers after the dot.



31

00:01:17.03 --> 00:01:18.09

If you're seeing a different version,



32

00:01:18.09 --> 00:01:21.06

such as 21 or 20 or what have you,



33

00:01:21.06 --> 00:01:25.06

then you need to substitute

that number in place of this 22.



34

00:01:25.06 --> 00:01:27.02

And just one more thing.



35

00:01:27.02 --> 00:01:28.06

For those of you who may be wondering



36

00:01:28.06 --> 00:01:30.07

how the version numbers

shake out in general,



37

00:01:30.07 --> 00:01:32.05

I've got this chart right here.



38

00:01:32.05 --> 00:01:37.03

And you can see that CC 2018

is the same as version 22.



39

00:01:37.03 --> 00:01:40.01

2017 is version 21.



40

00:01:40.01 --> 00:01:43.09

2015.3 is 20 and so on.



41

00:01:43.09 --> 00:01:46.00

The very first Illustrator CC



42

00:01:46.00 --> 00:01:48.04

didn't actually have a

year associated with it,



43

00:01:48.04 --> 00:01:50.08

but it came out in 2013,



44

00:01:50.08 --> 00:01:54.02

and that translates to version number 17.



45

00:01:54.02 --> 00:01:56.07

And the reason our text

changes from black to blue



46

00:01:56.07 --> 00:01:59.06

is that this is the point

at which Illustrator



47

00:01:59.06 --> 00:02:01.09

first introduced custom

keyboard shortcuts.



48

00:02:01.09 --> 00:02:04.09

Alright, so I'll press

shift page up to return



49

00:02:04.09 --> 00:02:06.04

to the very first art board,



50

00:02:06.04 --> 00:02:08.04

and you can go ahead and

read these instructions



51

00:02:08.04 --> 00:02:09.02

if you want to,



52

00:02:09.02 --> 00:02:12.00

but I'm gonna explain how

things work on the fly.



53

00:02:12.00 --> 00:02:15.03

And so the first thing you

wanna do is grab the type tool,



54

00:02:15.03 --> 00:02:17.04

which you can get by pressing the t key,



55

00:02:17.04 --> 00:02:21.02

and then go ahead and select

all of this blue text.



56

00:02:21.02 --> 00:02:24.08

And you only wanna select

the blue text, by the way.



57

00:02:24.08 --> 00:02:27.01

You do not wanna select the comma.



58

00:02:27.01 --> 00:02:28.09

Next, you wanna go up to the edit menu



59

00:02:28.09 --> 00:02:30.01

and choose the copy command,



60

00:02:30.01 --> 00:02:34.03

which of course has its own

keyboard shortcut of control c.



61

00:02:34.03 --> 00:02:36.04

Next, I'll go ahead and

minimize Illustrator



62

00:02:36.04 --> 00:02:38.01

by clicking on the minimize button



63

00:02:38.01 --> 00:02:40.00

in the top right corner of the screen,



64

00:02:40.00 --> 00:02:41.04

and I'll tap the start key,



65

00:02:41.04 --> 00:02:43.05

which is the one with

the Windows logo on it,



66

00:02:43.05 --> 00:02:45.07

in the bottom left

corner of your keyboard.



67

00:02:45.07 --> 00:02:47.01

And here under Windows 10,



68

00:02:47.01 --> 00:02:49.05

all you have to do is click on this icon,



69

00:02:49.05 --> 00:02:52.04

file explorer, to open a new window.



70

00:02:52.04 --> 00:02:54.05

If you're using a different

version of Windows,



71

00:02:54.05 --> 00:02:56.08

you're gonna have to figure

that step out on your own.



72

00:02:56.08 --> 00:02:59.08

Alright now, with this

new file explorer open,



73

00:02:59.08 --> 00:03:01.08

you wanna click on this bar right here.



74

00:03:01.08 --> 00:03:04.08

Not on the words quick access

or however they may read,



75

00:03:04.08 --> 00:03:07.03

but instead over in this empty area.



76

00:03:07.03 --> 00:03:09.09

And that's gonna highlight

the contents of the field.



77

00:03:09.09 --> 00:03:12.00

Now you wanna click on the paste button,



78

00:03:12.00 --> 00:03:13.04

or if that doesn't work,



79

00:03:13.04 --> 00:03:16.08

just press the keyboard

shortcut of control v,



80

00:03:16.08 --> 00:03:18.05

and that's gonna paste that information



81

00:03:18.05 --> 00:03:21.05

that you copied inside Illustrator.



82

00:03:21.05 --> 00:03:24.00

And then go ahead and press

the enter key in order



83

00:03:24.00 --> 00:03:26.07

to switch to that deeply

buried sub-folder.



84

00:03:26.07 --> 00:03:29.04

It's gonna contain its own

sub-folder, by the way,



85

00:03:29.04 --> 00:03:32.01

which in my case reads x64,



86

00:03:32.01 --> 00:03:34.04

because I'm working on a 64 bit system.



87

00:03:34.04 --> 00:03:36.09

Whatever it is, go ahead

and double click on it,



88

00:03:36.09 --> 00:03:38.01

and that's gonna take you



89

00:03:38.01 --> 00:03:41.01

to this top-secret sub-folder right here.



90

00:03:41.01 --> 00:03:44.04

Now it's very possible it's

gonna contain a ton of garbage,



91

00:03:44.04 --> 00:03:47.03

like these lst files, which are fontless.



92

00:03:47.03 --> 00:03:48.09

You don't need to worry about those.



93

00:03:48.09 --> 00:03:52.02

You may also, if you've been

working right along with me



94

00:03:52.02 --> 00:03:54.01

throughout the fundamentals

and advanced courses,



95

00:03:54.01 --> 00:03:56.09

you may see some other .kys file



96

00:03:56.09 --> 00:03:58.08

that you've created in the past.



97

00:03:58.08 --> 00:04:00.05

Don't worry about that.



98

00:04:00.05 --> 00:04:01.04

We're not gonna replace this guy.



99

00:04:01.04 --> 00:04:02.09

We're just gonna add a new one.



100

00:04:02.09 --> 00:04:04.07

And so, I'll go ahead and switch back



101

00:04:04.07 --> 00:04:07.04

to this 31 settings folder,



102

00:04:07.04 --> 00:04:10.01

which is found inside the

exercise files folder,



103

00:04:10.01 --> 00:04:12.01

and then I'll drag this file right here,



104

00:04:12.01 --> 00:04:14.09

the one for Windows, and before I release,



105

00:04:14.09 --> 00:04:17.00

I'll press and hold the control key



106

00:04:17.00 --> 00:04:19.00

to make a copy of that file.



107

00:04:19.00 --> 00:04:21.03

Notice that I'm seeing a

plus sign next to my cursor,



108

00:04:21.03 --> 00:04:25.05

and that way, you still have

a backup of the original.



109

00:04:25.05 --> 00:04:28.06

Alright, now let's load those

96 custom keyboard shortcuts



110

00:04:28.06 --> 00:04:29.06

into Illustrator,



111

00:04:29.06 --> 00:04:30.07

and we're gonna do that



112

00:04:30.07 --> 00:04:32.07

by bringing Illustrator back on screen,



113

00:04:32.07 --> 00:04:35.07

and then I'll just go ahead

and press the escape key



114

00:04:35.07 --> 00:04:37.08

to exit outta the text entry mode.



115

00:04:37.08 --> 00:04:39.05

And you wanna go up to the edit menu



116

00:04:39.05 --> 00:04:41.08

and choose keyboard shortcuts,



117

00:04:41.08 --> 00:04:45.04

which itself has a keyboard

shortcut of mash your fist k.



118

00:04:45.04 --> 00:04:46.07

That is to say control shift alt k,



119

00:04:46.07 --> 00:04:50.02

which will bring up this

dialogue box right here.



120

00:04:50.02 --> 00:04:53.05

Next, you wanna go up to

this set option, click on it.



121

00:04:53.05 --> 00:04:55.02

It may be set to Illustrator defaults



122

00:04:55.02 --> 00:04:58.02

or some other shortcuts that

you've created in the past.



123

00:04:58.02 --> 00:04:59.06

What you wanna do is go ahead



124

00:04:59.06 --> 00:05:02.07

and choose dekeKeys for

Illustrator Windows.



125

00:05:02.07 --> 00:05:05.09

And now, just to make sure

everything's working properly,



126

00:05:05.09 --> 00:05:09.09

go ahead and switch from

tools to menu commands



127

00:05:09.09 --> 00:05:11.09

and twirl open type.



128

00:05:11.09 --> 00:05:14.01

This is just the easiest guy to find,



129

00:05:14.01 --> 00:05:17.01

and you should see the

second command here, gliphs,



130

00:05:17.01 --> 00:05:19.08

which brings up the very

helpful gliphs panel.



131

00:05:19.08 --> 00:05:21.05

And you can see that I've now



132

00:05:21.05 --> 00:05:24.06

given it a shortcut of

control shift alt g,



133

00:05:24.06 --> 00:05:25.09

in which case, just go ahead



134

00:05:25.09 --> 00:05:29.05

and click okay in order

to accept that change.



135

00:05:29.05 --> 00:05:31.05

Alright, now let's

perform a couple of tests



136

00:05:31.05 --> 00:05:33.05

outside the dialogue box.



137

00:05:33.05 --> 00:05:35.07

For starters, I'm gonna

go up to the window menu,



138

00:05:35.07 --> 00:05:39.05

and I wanna scroll up to the

very top command, new window,



139

00:05:39.05 --> 00:05:42.07

which creates a new

window into your document.



140

00:05:42.07 --> 00:05:43.07

It doesn't duplicate the document,



141

00:05:43.07 --> 00:05:46.05

it just creates another window into it.



142

00:05:46.05 --> 00:05:49.06

And notice that I've now given

this very useful command,



143

00:05:49.06 --> 00:05:52.05

a shortcut of control shift alt n.



144

00:05:52.05 --> 00:05:55.00

And so, let's go ahead

and try out that shortcut.



145

00:05:55.00 --> 00:05:58.02

I'll go ahead and press it,

control shift alt n once again,



146

00:05:58.02 --> 00:06:00.07

and you can see that I end

up with the second window



147

00:06:00.07 --> 00:06:04.00

that has a little two up

here in the title tab.



148

00:06:04.00 --> 00:06:07.01

And now what I can do is

go up to the view menu



149

00:06:07.01 --> 00:06:08.04

and choose the outline command



150

00:06:08.04 --> 00:06:10.08

in order to switch to the outline mode.



151

00:06:10.08 --> 00:06:13.00

And then, I might just go ahead



152

00:06:13.00 --> 00:06:15.04

and zoom into this text like so.



153

00:06:15.04 --> 00:06:18.06

And notice, if I switch

back to the first view,



154

00:06:18.06 --> 00:06:21.03

that I'm still seeing the entire art board



155

00:06:21.03 --> 00:06:22.05

in the preview mode.



156

00:06:22.05 --> 00:06:25.03

So now I have two different

views of the document,



157

00:06:25.03 --> 00:06:26.06

both of which will keep up



158

00:06:26.06 --> 00:06:29.07

with any and all edits I might make.



159

00:06:29.07 --> 00:06:31.09

Now let's say you wanna see

both views at the same time.



160

00:06:31.09 --> 00:06:35.06

Then you could go up here to

the arrange documents icon,



161

00:06:35.06 --> 00:06:38.06

click on it, and choose this guy,



162

00:06:38.06 --> 00:06:42.01

which gives you a vertical

two up display like so.



163

00:06:42.01 --> 00:06:45.00

And now, you can just move

things around if you like,



164

00:06:45.00 --> 00:06:46.07

and if you make any modifications,



165

00:06:46.07 --> 00:06:49.03

they'll be reflected in both windows.



166

00:06:49.03 --> 00:06:51.01

Alright, now let's say, at this point,



167

00:06:51.01 --> 00:06:52.06

you wanna put things back together.



168

00:06:52.06 --> 00:06:55.02

In other words, you wanna

consolidate the two views



169

00:06:55.02 --> 00:06:58.02

into a single window

with two tabs at the top.



170

00:06:58.02 --> 00:06:59.01

In that case,



171

00:06:59.01 --> 00:07:01.03

you would return to that

arrange documents icon



172

00:07:01.03 --> 00:07:04.04

and choose this guy, consolidate all.



173

00:07:04.04 --> 00:07:07.00

But I've also given it

a keyboard shortcut,



174

00:07:07.00 --> 00:07:08.04

which I'll show you here.



175

00:07:08.04 --> 00:07:10.00

It's mash your fist zero.



176

00:07:10.00 --> 00:07:12.06

That is to say control shift alt zero,



177

00:07:12.06 --> 00:07:15.09

which is gonna go ahead and

consolidate those two views,



178

00:07:15.09 --> 00:07:18.09

as we're seeing here, so that

you can switch between them



179

00:07:18.09 --> 00:07:21.02

by clicking on the title tabs.



180

00:07:21.02 --> 00:07:22.05

And that, my friends,



181
