To implement a shortcut manager, we should first have code to read user
specific keyboard mapping on top of system mapping: right now, to modify
keyboard shortcuts you must edit the file in system directory and that one is
overwritten when you upgrade the keymap.
We must also make sure all controls have the code to actually hook a shortcut
to it, of course.
Unrelated configuration handling things follow...
I would like to see some cleanup of how midi/hid mapping files are stored and
referenced for user as well:
- which mapping file is used for a device should be stored to db, not to
filenames
- if user does not modify a system mapping, it should not be copied to user
directory (now if system mapping is updated, user mapping overrides it and
future changes are lost, I think!)
- users should be able to drop mapping files to home directory and have them
instantly available in preferences (this may already work, did not check)
In general I think we should move settings from mixxx.cfg to a configuration
table in database, keeping only settings like ‘path to database file’ in
mixxx.cfg. Current file is very confusing, when you can have same section
multiple times, making editing it manually hard.

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.
