You can navigate to File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Export Settings on your Mac and send .zip file to Windows machine. On Windows machine you need to navigate to File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Import Settings and select .zip file.

How to save/export all the settings of IntelliJ IDEA?

Syntax
~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains//keymaps Example

~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2021.2/keymaps

By default, this directory contains only the default keymaps. When you modify one of them, IntelliJ IDEA actually creates a child keymap file that contains only the differences relative to the parent keymap. For example, if you modified the default Windows keymap, your custom keymap will be its child. The file will contain only the shortcuts that you added or modified, while all other shortcuts of your custom keymap will be the same as the default Windows keymap.

You can share your custom keymaps with team members or between your IDE instances. Copy the corresponding keymap file and put it in the keymaps directory on another IntelliJ IDEA installation. Then select the copied keymap on the Keymap settings page.
