Hi Ilkka,
currently Mixxx tries to pick shortcuts from Custom.kbd.cfg file from
config directory (~/.mixxx)
http://mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4471
Something similar is done with the used Midi Controller mapping. So there
is no user setting lost in case of upgrade and if so, it is a bug.
I do not like the idea to move all setting to the use a database. In the
current solution advanced users have full control about their settings
without using a sqlite tool which is risky anyway. But I agree, that we
should clean up the file and keep groups together.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works.
Faster operations. Version large binaries. Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
