Unpopular opinion: I used to avoid custom keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator, but last month I set up one for 'paste in place' and it saved my bacon.

I was working on a complex logo for a local bakery, and I kept messing up the alignment when copying elements between artboards. I finally mapped 'paste in place' to Ctrl+Shift+V like in other programs, and it cut my rework time down by a ton. What's the one shortcut you set up that you now can't live without?

Mapping "select same" to a quick key changed my whole workflow. It lets you grab all matching objects instantly, which is a lifesaver for cleaning up messy files. What custom shortcut saved you the most time?

That trick is a total game changer for busy projects.

Select same" sounds amazing. My custom shortcut is just me hitting undo over and over again.
