I want to easily transfer over all my custom shortcuts and IDE idiosyncrasies that are present in IntelliJ to Android Studio so I can begin my Android app development career without the headache of individually configuring each custom setting. How can I accomplish this?

You can use ⌘, (macOS), or Ctrl+Alt+S (Windows/Linux) to display the Preferences/Settings dialog in IntelliJ IDEA.
Android Studio and the Android plugin for IntelliJ IDEA are built from the same code, and all of the changes in Android Studio are, and will continue to be, available in IntelliJ IDEA releases.
By default, IntelliJ IDEA stores user-specific files for each IDE instance (configuration, caches, plugins, logs, and so on) in the user's home directory.
In order to transfer your existing settings from IntelliJ to Android Studio (or vice versa) select File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Export Settings... and select an appropriate path. Then in the other IDE you wish to transfer the settings to, select File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Import Settings and locate the previously exported .jar settings file.
