I have a Node-Red installed and configured on mine main PC that i am using most of the time for testing/developing flows...  
I have set a lot of custom keyboard shortcuts that i am used to using while developing.  
How could i transfer all of the shortcuts to another Node-Red instance without having to manually input every shortcut?  
Is there a config file for them?

Have a look under `~/.node-red/.config.users.json` - that contains all of your editor options, including keyboard shortcuts as a big JSON document. The top-level key of the document is your username if have `adminAuth` enabled, otherwise it uses `"_"` as the key for the default user.

You should be able to copy the whole file over.
