Hi Donna,
You would access ~/Library by going to your home folder with command-shift-h
and go menu. In Yosemite and Mavericks, you can also make it visible by
checking the show library folder in view options.
~/Library is a Unix path and ~ means everything else after it is in your home
folder. You could put this in /Library if you want all other users on your
machine to access it, but you would need to be an administrator to do this and
I don’t think it’s necessary to put it there.
If you use textedit to save it, make sure it is in UTF8 text format.
Good luck.

Hi Bary,
This looks really interesting, but I have a couple of questions.
You said ~/library. I assume that's the folder that I access by going to
Macintosh HD, opening it, and going to library?
Second, I was able to create the folder there called keybindings, but when I
tried to save the file from text Edit, I was told I don't have permission to
save a file with that filename. What's up with that?
Thanks,
Donna
