This would open a window with the options you can choose from.

You can choose between Set: Photoshop Default, or working with Type. Shortcuts for : Application Menus, Palette Menus, or Tools. Application Menu Commands: where you can change every option's own shortcut to one that suits you.

Then you can either: Accept the changes that you made for the shortcuts Undo the changes that you made for the shortcuts

Use the default Shortcuts (incase you want to go back to the preset shortcuts),

Add more shortcuts (that would preserve the ones that you previously modified) Delete Shortcuts that enables you to delete all the shortcuts. (At any time you can just press on Use Default again, and the preset shortcuts would come back)

Summarize option would open the ordinary saving window on your Pc/Mac device to ask you where do you want to save all your short cuts so you can print them, Examine them, ect.
