00:00:00.04 --> 00:00:01.06

- [Instructor] In this movie I'll show you



2

00:00:01.06 --> 00:00:03.06

how to install my custom dekeKeys



3

00:00:03.06 --> 00:00:05.06

keyboard shortcuts on the Mac.



4

00:00:05.06 --> 00:00:07.01

If you're working on the PC



5

00:00:07.01 --> 00:00:09.05

you can go ahead and

skip to the next movie.



6

00:00:09.05 --> 00:00:11.05

Now one of the great things about dekeKeys



7

00:00:11.05 --> 00:00:14.06

is that it provides you

with exactly 100 new



8

00:00:14.06 --> 00:00:16.07

or revised keyboard shortcuts.



9

00:00:16.07 --> 00:00:19.02

Of course, that's assuming

that I've counted accurately.



10

00:00:19.02 --> 00:00:21.09

But whatever the number, they

will hopefully help you move



11

00:00:21.09 --> 00:00:24.07

through the software

that much more quickly.



12

00:00:24.07 --> 00:00:27.08

Now notice that we have two

keyboard shortcuts files.



13

00:00:27.08 --> 00:00:30.04

They both end in .kys.



14

00:00:30.04 --> 00:00:33.08

This guy's for the Mac

and this one's for the PC.



15

00:00:33.08 --> 00:00:35.04

You need the Macintosh file



16

00:00:35.04 --> 00:00:39.00

and you need to copy it to a

very specific folder location.



17

00:00:39.00 --> 00:00:41.02

And let me show you what that looks like.



18

00:00:41.02 --> 00:00:43.08

I'll go ahead and open up

this document right here



19

00:00:43.08 --> 00:00:45.04

inside Illustrator.



20

00:00:45.04 --> 00:00:48.02

And I want you to see that

we have different locations



21

00:00:48.02 --> 00:00:49.09

on Windows and the Mac.



22

00:00:49.09 --> 00:00:52.00

So we're looking at the Macintosh info.



23

00:00:52.00 --> 00:00:55.04

And we wanna put the file

in this path right here,



24

00:00:55.04 --> 00:00:58.08

so notice that there's an

Illustrator 22 Settings folder,



25

00:00:58.08 --> 00:01:04.00

and that's because CC 2018

is the same as version 22



26

00:01:04.00 --> 00:01:06.06

of one of the longest

running pieces of software



27

00:01:06.06 --> 00:01:09.00

on the planet, Adobe Illustrator.



28

00:01:09.00 --> 00:01:10.04

And just in case you're curious



29

00:01:10.04 --> 00:01:13.00

how these version numbers

have translated over time,



30

00:01:13.00 --> 00:01:14.06

I have this chart right here.



31

00:01:14.06 --> 00:01:17.05

And so you can see that CC 2018



32

00:01:17.05 --> 00:01:19.08

is the same as version 22.



33

00:01:19.08 --> 00:01:22.04

2017 is version 21,



34

00:01:22.04 --> 00:01:26.03

2015.3 is 20, and so on.



35

00:01:26.03 --> 00:01:29.04

The very first Illustrator

CC didn't have a year,



36

00:01:29.04 --> 00:01:31.06

but it came out in 2013



37

00:01:31.06 --> 00:01:34.05

and that translates to version 17.



38

00:01:34.05 --> 00:01:36.03

Now the reason we have this break in color



39

00:01:36.03 --> 00:01:38.08

from black to blue is

that this is the point



40

00:01:38.08 --> 00:01:42.00

at which custom keyboard

shortcuts were first introduced



41

00:01:42.00 --> 00:01:43.09

inside Illustrator.



42

00:01:43.09 --> 00:01:46.06

Now if you're at all unsure

of exactly which version



43

00:01:46.06 --> 00:01:48.01

of the program you're using



44

00:01:48.01 --> 00:01:51.01

then go up to the Illustrator CC menu here



45

00:01:51.01 --> 00:01:54.08

and choose the very first

command, About Illustrator.



46

00:01:54.08 --> 00:01:57.01

At which point you won't

necessarily see a year,



47

00:01:57.01 --> 00:01:59.08

except down here in the

copyright statement,



48

00:01:59.08 --> 00:02:03.02

but you will see a version

number, in my case 22.



49

00:02:03.02 --> 00:02:05.07

We don't care about the

numbers after the dot.



50

00:02:05.07 --> 00:02:07.03

If you're seeing a different version,



51

00:02:07.03 --> 00:02:10.01

such as 21 or 20 or what have you,



52

00:02:10.01 --> 00:02:12.01

then you need to substitute that number



53

00:02:12.01 --> 00:02:15.01

in place of the 22 in the path string.



54

00:02:15.01 --> 00:02:16.09

All right, so I'm gonna

press Shift + page up



55

00:02:16.09 --> 00:02:20.01

in order to switch to the first

artboard in this document.



56

00:02:20.01 --> 00:02:22.08

And then I'll go ahead

and select the Type Tool,



57

00:02:22.08 --> 00:02:25.00

which you can get by pressing the T key.



58

00:02:25.00 --> 00:02:29.02

And now you wanna select this

blue line of type down here.



59

00:02:29.02 --> 00:02:31.03

And if you get this warning telling you



60

00:02:31.03 --> 00:02:33.06

that the text was created

in a different version



61

00:02:33.06 --> 00:02:37.05

of Illustrator, specifically

the PC version by the way,



62

00:02:37.05 --> 00:02:40.04

tell the program to

bug off by clicking OK.



63

00:02:40.04 --> 00:02:42.09

And then try selecting that text again,



64

00:02:42.09 --> 00:02:44.03

all the way up to the comma,



65

00:02:44.03 --> 00:02:47.00

but don't select the

comma, we don't want that.



66

00:02:47.00 --> 00:02:50.05

Then go up to the Edit menu

and choose the Copy command



67

00:02:50.05 --> 00:02:53.04

or you can just take advantage

of that keyboard shortcut,



68

00:02:53.04 --> 00:02:55.00

Command + C.



69

00:02:55.00 --> 00:02:58.01

All right, now I'll go back

to the Illustrator CC menu



70

00:02:58.01 --> 00:03:00.00

and choose Hide Illustrator



71

00:03:00.00 --> 00:03:03.00

in order to reveal the

Finder in the background.



72

00:03:03.00 --> 00:03:05.01

And now I'll run through those steps.



73

00:03:05.01 --> 00:03:07.00

So it's all documented in that file



74

00:03:07.00 --> 00:03:08.06

we saw just a moment ago,



75

00:03:08.06 --> 00:03:10.08

but I might as well show you how it works



76

00:03:10.08 --> 00:03:12.07

by going up to the File menu



77

00:03:12.07 --> 00:03:15.06

and choosing this first

command, New Finder Window.



78

00:03:15.06 --> 00:03:17.06

Then you wanna go up here to the Go menu



79

00:03:17.06 --> 00:03:21.03

and choose Home in order to

go to your Home location,



80

00:03:21.03 --> 00:03:24.02

which is very likely

gonna be named after you.



81

00:03:24.02 --> 00:03:26.02

Then you wanna return to the Go menu



82

00:03:26.02 --> 00:03:28.01

and choose Go to Folder,



83

00:03:28.01 --> 00:03:31.02

which is gonna bring up this

little path field right here.



84

00:03:31.02 --> 00:03:33.02

Now in your case it will either be blank



85

00:03:33.02 --> 00:03:34.09

or filled with the wrong information.



86

00:03:34.09 --> 00:03:37.01

Some folder that you've been to recently.



87

00:03:37.01 --> 00:03:39.05

What you wanna do is

go up to the Edit menu



88

00:03:39.05 --> 00:03:41.02

and choose the Paste command



89

00:03:41.02 --> 00:03:44.05

or you can just press

Command + V in order to paste



90

00:03:44.05 --> 00:03:46.09

that path information

that you just copied.



91

00:03:46.09 --> 00:03:48.05

And then click Go



92

00:03:48.05 --> 00:03:51.02

and that will take you

to the proper folder.



93

00:03:51.02 --> 00:03:53.06

Now if you've been working

right along with me



94

00:03:53.06 --> 00:03:55.09

through the fundamentals

and advanced courses



95

00:03:55.09 --> 00:03:58.05

you may see a shortcuts file,



96

00:03:58.05 --> 00:04:02.00

in my case it's simply

called dekeKeys.kys.



97

00:04:02.00 --> 00:04:03.07

That's fine, we're not gonna replace it,



98

00:04:03.07 --> 00:04:05.04

we're just gonna add another one



99

00:04:05.04 --> 00:04:08.01

by bringing back the 31 settings folder,



100

00:04:08.01 --> 00:04:09.08

which incidentally is located



101

00:04:09.08 --> 00:04:12.01

inside the Exercise Files folder.



102

00:04:12.01 --> 00:04:14.00

Then go ahead and grab



103

00:04:14.00 --> 00:04:17.08

that dekeKeys for Illustrator Mac.kys file



104

00:04:17.08 --> 00:04:20.01

and drag it over into the other folder.



105

00:04:20.01 --> 00:04:22.01

And then before you release



106

00:04:22.01 --> 00:04:24.08

go ahead and press and hold the Option key



107

00:04:24.08 --> 00:04:27.00

and that way you'll

create a copy of the file,



108

00:04:27.00 --> 00:04:28.06

as apposed to moving it.



109

00:04:28.06 --> 00:04:31.02

See that green plus

sign next to my cursor.



110

00:04:31.02 --> 00:04:34.06

And that way you'll retain

my original KYS file



111

00:04:34.06 --> 00:04:37.02

in case you need to come back to it later.



112

00:04:37.02 --> 00:04:39.02

All right, now let's see

how to load the shortcuts



113

00:04:39.02 --> 00:04:40.06

inside Illustrator.



114

00:04:40.06 --> 00:04:42.02

So I'll go ahead and switch back



115

00:04:42.02 --> 00:04:44.01

to the application, like so.



116

00:04:44.01 --> 00:04:46.00

And I'll Escape out of the text mode,



117

00:04:46.00 --> 00:04:48.04

and then I'll go up to the Edit menu



118

00:04:48.04 --> 00:04:50.03

and choose Keyboard Shortcuts,



119

00:04:50.03 --> 00:04:53.05

which itself has a shortcut

of mash your fist + K,



120

00:04:53.05 --> 00:04:56.03

by which I mean Command

+ Shift + Option + K.



121

00:04:56.03 --> 00:04:59.08

And then go to the Set

item up here at the top,



122

00:04:59.08 --> 00:05:02.05

which might be set to Illustrator Defaults



123

00:05:02.05 --> 00:05:05.00

or your custom keyboard shortcut file,



124

00:05:05.00 --> 00:05:06.09

and choose that most recent item,



125

00:05:06.09 --> 00:05:09.03

dekeKeys for Illustrator Mac.



126

00:05:09.03 --> 00:05:10.03

And just to make sure



127

00:05:10.03 --> 00:05:12.06

that everything's working

out the way we want it to,



128

00:05:12.06 --> 00:05:16.01

go ahead and switch from

Tools to Menu Commands



129

00:05:16.01 --> 00:05:19.00

and then twirl open the

Type menu right here



130

00:05:19.00 --> 00:05:21.06

and you should see this second command,



131

00:05:21.06 --> 00:05:24.04

which brings up the very

helpful Glyphs panel



132

00:05:24.04 --> 00:05:28.00

now has a shortcut of

Command + Shift + Option + G.



133

00:05:28.00 --> 00:05:31.03

After which point you can

go ahead and click OK.



134

00:05:31.03 --> 00:05:34.01

All right, now let's test that

things are working properly



135

00:05:34.01 --> 00:05:35.09

by going up to the Window menu



136

00:05:35.09 --> 00:05:38.06

and notice this first command, New Window,



137

00:05:38.06 --> 00:05:41.09

now has a shortcut of

Command + Shift + Option + N.



138

00:05:41.09 --> 00:05:43.07

And so rather than choosing the command



139

00:05:43.07 --> 00:05:45.07

let's actually try out that shortcut.



140

00:05:45.07 --> 00:05:49.02

And so I'll go ahead and press

Command + Shift + Option + N



141

00:05:49.02 --> 00:05:51.08

in order to create a second window,



142

00:05:51.08 --> 00:05:54.04

notice this little 2 up

here in the title bar,



143

00:05:54.04 --> 00:05:55.09

into our document.



144

00:05:55.09 --> 00:05:58.03

So we haven't duplicated the document,



145

00:05:58.03 --> 00:06:01.00

we're just creating a

second window into it.



146

00:06:01.00 --> 00:06:03.06

Which means that I can

go up to the View menu



147

00:06:03.06 --> 00:06:05.03

and choose the Outline command



148

00:06:05.03 --> 00:06:07.06

in order to switch to the outline mode,



149

00:06:07.06 --> 00:06:10.08

and then I can zoom into

the document, like so,



150

00:06:10.08 --> 00:06:13.02

and even though I'm

zoomed into this location



151

00:06:13.02 --> 00:06:14.09

inside the second window



152

00:06:14.09 --> 00:06:17.07

I'm still zoomed out in

the standard preview mode



153

00:06:17.07 --> 00:06:19.08

where the first window is concerned.



154

00:06:19.08 --> 00:06:22.01

Which means I can now

view these two windows



155

00:06:22.01 --> 00:06:25.07

side-by-side by going up

to this item right here,



156

00:06:25.07 --> 00:06:28.08

the Arrange Documents

icon, clicking on it,



157

00:06:28.08 --> 00:06:31.06

and choosing this vertical 2-Up option,



158

00:06:31.06 --> 00:06:34.06

which will show me both of

these windows side-by-side.



159

00:06:34.06 --> 00:06:37.05

And now you can just move

things around if you like.



160

00:06:37.05 --> 00:06:39.01

And if you make any changes



161

00:06:39.01 --> 00:06:42.05

your edits will be

reflected in both windows.



162

00:06:42.05 --> 00:06:43.09

All right, now let's say at this point



163

00:06:43.09 --> 00:06:45.05

you wanna put things back together.



164

00:06:45.05 --> 00:06:47.09

In other words, you wanna

consolidate the two views



165

00:06:47.09 --> 00:06:51.00

into a single window

with two tabs at the top.



166

00:06:51.00 --> 00:06:53.08

Then you can return to

the Arrange Documents icon



167

00:06:53.08 --> 00:06:57.04

and choose this guy right

here, Consolidate All.



168

00:06:57.04 --> 00:06:59.01

Turns out however I've given it



169

00:06:59.01 --> 00:07:01.00

another custom keyboard shortcut,



170

00:07:01.00 --> 00:07:04.01

and so another way to

consolidate your windows



171

00:07:04.01 --> 00:07:07.09

is to press Command + Shift

+ Option + 0, like so.



172

00:07:07.09 --> 00:07:09.09

At which point you'll see two tabs



173

00:07:09.09 --> 00:07:11.04

along the top of the screen.



174

00:07:11.04 --> 00:07:12.09

And so there you have it,



175

00:07:12.09 --> 00:07:16.02

that's how you install my custom

dekeKeys keyboard shortcuts



176

00:07:16.02 --> 00:07:19.04

for Illustrator CC running on the Mac.



177

00:07:19.04 --> 00:07:22.08

In the next movie I'll show

you exactly what you've won.
