A few weeks ago I compiled a list of InDesign shortcuts that I use daily and made a A4 printable cheat sheet (You can find it here). Lots of people downloaded it, and asked me if I could make the same thing for Illustrator.
So, here it is: a single A4 printable cheat sheet that you can always have on your desk, ready to be checked. I hope this will help you memorize a few more shortcuts and be even more productive.

Even more, make sure you read this InDesign vs. Illustrator content to find the correct answer to when and why choose one software over the other.

Here are the ready-to-be-printed PDFs with the most important and used shortcuts:

In case you wonder, I made also a Desktop Background with these shortcuts. Here they are:

A full list of Illustrator keyboard shortcuts
Illustrators has so many shortcuts that they didn’t fit into a single A4, so the printable cheat sheet above includes only the ones that I use the most and that I believe are the most important for day to day work.
However, here is also a more exhaustive list, in case I missed your favorites.

The Big, Huge, Massive Photoshop CC Toolbar Cheatsheet
Adobe Photoshop Shortcuts For Mac Cheat Sheet Printable Sheet
I’ve made a PDF “Cheat Sheet” of the latest Photoshop Toolbar keyboard shortcuts. This poster features every tool in the Photoshop CC Toolbar, along with its shortcut key. Learning keyboard shortcuts is one of the best ways to get better and more efficient at using Photoshop.
A good work flow in digital imaging allows you to be fast and creative. By learning keyboard shortcuts you can dramatically improve your Photoshop work rate. There are obviously a ton of keyboard shortcuts in the program but if you make a concious effort to try to remember some of them (you won’t remember them all), you’ll find that you work well with one hand on the keyboard, ready to hit that shortcut and one hand on your mouse or pen tablet.
Some of the keyboard shortcuts for the tools are simple – B for Brush, C for Crop, Z for Zoom, P for Pen. Others are not so obvious – O for the Dodge tool for example 🙂
By making a just small effort to learn and use the keyboard shortcuts you’ll soon be flying in Photoshop.
The poster is a high quality PDF which can be printed at A4, A3, Letter or Tabloid sizes. You can print it out or just view it on your computer. It’s printer ink friendly too and can be printed in black and white with no loss of information.
