Refreshing Keyboard Shortcuts to...

I am using a computer where someone has adjusted all the default shortcuts to 'off' is there a way to restore the shortcuts??It looks like a default.txt file is in the Presets folder as well as a default KBSC file.

Refreshing Keyboard Shortcuts to...

The first thing to do is Edit %26gt; Keyboard Shortcuts .. and check to see if a custom set is in use. If it is, pick the default set from the list. Shortcut sets are XML files, and though ID won't let you edit the default set directly, it's conceivable someone edited the code, but very unlikley.

If there is not a custom set in use, the next step would be to reset the application preferences. This help article covers the procedures in CS4: Adobe InDesign CS4 * Setting preferences The keyboard techniques are the same for CS1, as is the advice in the comments about what to back up. If you choose to do a manual file repalcement rather than the Keyboard method, both preference files will be in the Applcation Data folder in you user profile in Windows, rather than split into two directories. I'm not sure about Mac. In any case the file names are still the same so you should be able to find them using a search.
