Export and import keyboard shortcuts

Hello everyone,

Could you please advise whether it’s possible to transfer or import custom keyboard shortcuts in Dorico?

I spent quite a lot of time carefully setting up and customizing my shortcuts in Dorico 4, and after moving to Dorico 5 I’ve noticed that all of these settings are missing. In Sibelius, for example, there is a clear option to export and import keyboard shortcuts, which makes migrating to a new version much easier.

However, in Dorico I haven’t been able to find any similar functionality. Is there a way to transfer or reuse shortcut configurations between versions, or do they have to be recreated manually each time?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

On a Mac they should be at your user Library->Application Support->Steinberg->Dorico 4->keycommands_en.json. On a Mac, the user library is hidden by default. From Finder, hold down the opt key and open the Go menu.

Jesper
