For those on Mac with After Effect 22 it’s a little different:
Open finder, on the top ribbon choose GO and a drop down menu will appear.
Hold down ALT and Library will pop up. Select the Library folder
Go to: Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/ 22.0*your version*/aeks/ Your Shortcuts .txt
Copy and paste your custom shortcuts here.
