Did you know that you can export as many keyboard shortcuts/abbreviations
sas you'd like and you can do it with one simple operation?
The following comes from SAS Usage Note 19335
(http://support.sas.com/kb/19/335.html ):
The SAS Enhanced Editor allows you to create keyboard macros and keyboard
abbreviations. To create keyboard macros select Tools > Keyboards Macros. To
create keyboard abbreviations select Tools > Add Abbreviation.
You also have the functionality to export these to a file and then import
them into SAS on another machine. Note that in order to avoid overwriting
any existing keyboard short cut keys, the key assignments for Keyboard
Macros are not exported. You need to reassign the keys after importing. The
Abbreviations do not have key assignments. To accomplish this do the
following:
Click Tools > Keyboard Macros > Macros
Hold down the SHIFT key or CTRL key and left-click to select the
abbreviations and macros to export
Click on the EXPORT button and save to a file with the extension .kmf
Copy the file to another machine.
Open SAS on the other machine.
Click Tools > Keyboard Macros > Macros
Click the IMPORT button and select the .kmf file
For Keyboard Macros only, click Assign Keys and choose a new shortcut key
for each macro. Do not assign short cut keys for Abbreviations.
