Where is the file that holds the keyboard shortcuts for Mac? I am not looking to change it, just looking for the file itself.

They aren't stored in any single file. But for example ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist contains the shortcuts specified in System Preferences → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Application Shortcuts → All Applications. – Lri Dec 12 '11 at 3:12
@Lri How do you edit the file w/out the System Preferences? – Gray Adams Dec 14 '11 at 20:06
plutil -convert xml1 ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist and then open it with any text editor. Or by using defaults write. – Lri Dec 14 '11 at 23:32
