Props to Saladtripp but I think what I'm saying is right:
Here is an F chord. It's made using a partial E form bar chord on fret 1.
The root note F is on string 1 (and also on string 4, too).
1:--------1------
2:--------1------
3:--------2------
4:--------3------
5:--------x------
6:--------x------
Here is a Db chord. It's made using a partial C form bar chord on fret 1.
The root note Db is on string 2.
1:--------1------
2:--------2------
3:--------1------
4:--------3------
5:--------x------
6:--------x------
Here is a Bb chord. It's made using a partial A form bar chord on fret 1.
The root note Bb is on string 3.
1:--------1------
2:--------3------
3:--------3------
4:--------3------
5:--------x------
6:--------x------
The root of a G form is on string 1 (and also string 6) and the root of a D form is on string 2.
Also, once you're away from the open chords, in the middle of the neck, then, distances are gonna be the same no matter which key you're in. So, like, say your in the middle of the neck playing a song with a I-IV-V chord progression. Then, you play a different song that also uses the same I-IV-V progression but in a different key. Well, the distances on the neck would be the same. Like, the number of frets you would move over to change chords would be the same. So, fear not, practice I-IV-V progressions in different keys using all bar chords (no open chords). It's easy cuz it's the same you just start on a different fret. Then, after you've really got that down, then once you start playing a certain song, I think your fingers will automatically know how far to jump to go to the next chord, see what I mean? Then, it's automatic, you don't have to think. But, initially, until that becomes automatic, use all of these great suggestions folks are offering you to learn the chords in the first place. if that helps, well, good luck! Remember that's only true if you stay in the middle of the neck and use all bar chords. Then a chord progression pattern will be the same in any key. But, if you go to the top of the neck and play open chords then the same pattern will not work in different keys, ok?
