Features: • 249 shortcuts and chords across 16 category folders, every one read off Adobe's own After Effects keyboard-shortcuts reference — Windows and macOS columns both, so no key is a mac shortcut guessed for Windows • The whole reveal layer, single AND double press — P S R T A U E for the properties, and the MM / EE / UU / RR / TT / AA / FF / LL / PP / SS double-taps that no other profile ships, because a double press is not a hotkey and has to be built as a chord • Keyframes in full — Easy Ease in / out / both, Graph Editor, interpolation, hold, velocity, and nudge by 1 or 10 frames in both directions • Masks, Text, 3D and Panels — four whole areas of After Effects that shortcut profiles normally skip, plus composition markers on the numpad • Directional pairs shipped as pairs: trim in AND out, slide ±1 and ±10, rotate ±1°, opacity ±1%, tracking and leading up and down — Adobe writes them as one line and most profiles ship half of it • Markers on the physical numpad multiply key plus set-and-go-to for markers 1 to 4 • All 10 panels on single keys — Project, Render Queue, Tools, Info, Preview, Audio, Effects & Presets, Character, Paragraph, Effect Controls, plus maximize-under-pointer and the Comp ⇄ Timeline toggle

v2.0 — 50 → 249 shortcuts

Rebuilt from Adobe's own keyboard-shortcuts reference rather than a hand-written list: 24 tables, 381 rows, each row's Windows and macOS column pushed through the hotkey encoder and only shipped where both resolve.

Seven new folders: Reveal, Transform, Time, Masks, Text, 3D, Panels — markers live in Time, compositions in Project

The double-press reveal set (MM, EE, UU, RR, TT, AA, FF, LL, PP, SS) shipped as two-step chords

Directional pairs split into two keys each instead of shipping only the first half

Composition markers on the numpad, with set and go-to for 1 through 4

Every key carries its own glyph — 249 shortcuts, 249 distinct icons

Windows Smart Profile binding added (AfterFX.exe)
