What's the difference between Vertex and Master Shape Keys?

Vertex Shape Keys can divide shape keys into unique ones and generate vertex group keys. Master Shape Keys has that included, plus everything else.

Will Shape Key Collections work on another computer?

So long as the computer has the addon and the same Blender version, the Collections will work.

The .zip doesn't install in Blender

Please un-zip the archive and install the .py script.

I've imported my shape keys from other software with another addon. Will my shape keys work with this addon?

Normally the shape keys should work, but a 100% guarantee cannot be provided. So far there have been no reports of such issues.

I only want to get the folder structure addon (Shape Key Collections)
Is there another tool like this that can automate drivers?

Did you know you could set up shape keys to be driven by bones through an automated process via drivers on a 3D UI? It can work on any model or mesh, including facial shape keys of any character. This is all possible with the epic addon Driver-Rig - https://blendermarket.com/products/driverrig-shape-keys-bones

Are there tutorials?

Of course, check the Documentation section of this page.

My project is slowing down when I’m using multiple Vertex Group shape keys

Delete Vertex Keys when making changes and then generate them again. This will reduce the number of shape keys the engine has to deal with until you’re ready to use them again.

Can I remove the long names from grouped keys that get generated for use out of Blender?

With the object selected you want to fix the names of, paste this in to the Python console and run it, but know that it breaks the SKC addon, so before you run it, SAVE, use the script, export your model and then reload the save from before you ran the script. If you do not follow these instructions, doom will come your file.

CODE STARTS

keys = context.active_object.data.shape_keys.key_blocks
for key in keys:
skend = key.name.endswith('_SKM2')
skstar = key.name.startsswith('SKMvg_:')
if skend and skstar:
key.name = key.name[7:-5]
