Take the following steps to transfer MATLAB shortcuts to another computer.

1. Rename the following XML-file:

where $PREFDIR is the MATLAB directory containing preferences files, as returned by typing the following at the MATLAB Command Prompt:

>> prefdir

Rename the file to "shortcuts.xml.old" ("shortcuts_2.xml.old" or "FavoriteCommands.xml.old").

2. Transfer the desired XML file to a different machine. Place the new file in the same directory mentioned in step 1.

3. Restart MATLAB.

4. After restarting MATLAB, issue the following command at the MATLAB Command Prompt:

>> rehash toolboxcache
