I understand wanting to keep the old preference 
form for simplicity, but that form should have 
at least a link to the keyboard preferences form.
Otherwise people will make changes on both
forms (maybe not the same day) and wonder 
why their changes don't stick.

I understand wanting to store the hard keys
in the old preference format for backwards
compatibility, but what does that really gain?
The only ways I can imagine needing the old
format after installing the keymap are if the
map is deleted, or an older viewer is 
reinstalled.  Either way, it makes sense to
fall back to defaults, without worrying about
how to keep a subset of the preferences.
Or were you thinking that people with the
new viewer might skip keymaps anyhow,
for speed?

It definately makes sense to keep the
key-handling logic as close together as 
possible, to keep things simpler for someone
who looks at the code next year.
