As the title says, it is suuuuuuuuper annoying, that ever new Xojo Version overwrites the custom set Keyboard Shortcuts. Also in older IDE versions!
I highly customize the shortcuts to stay productive over all IDE I use over the day (VS Code, Webstorm, Visual Studio, Xcode, Xojo). And whenever a new release is out, I have to reconfigure it over ALL IDE Version on my Mac.
What a crap.
Sorry for the rant, but I recently opened 2020R2 for the first time and this is driving me nuts right now.
I agree with you, annoying fact.
On Mac, you can also customise the shortcuts in System PreferencesâKeyboardâShorcutsâApplication shortcuts. Those would be âpermanentâ, but, as I havenât tried yet, I hope Xojo doesnât break this ability with the built-in editor⊠
I canât find the documentation on Xojoâs site(s)âŠ
But I think to remember that it should be possible since about 2018r1:
Resources:2018r1 Release Notes - Xojo Documentation
For sure, it depends on the Location where you are saving these âmanually changed Keyboard Shortcutsâ:
User set menu shortcuts can be in these locations:
- Application Data > Xojo > Xojo > Overrides > Keyboard shortcuts (for ONE user for ONE specific version)
- Documents > Xojo > Overrides > Keyboard shortcuts (for ONE user for all versions that support this functionality)
- SharedDocuments > Xojo > Overrides > Keyboard shortcuts (for all users for all versions that support this functionality)
This override of shortcuts will be located and used in the order listed above.
Happened to me as wellâŠ
Since Xojo 2018rX I have saved my customized Keyboard Shortcuts in âDocuments â Xojo â Overridesâ, according to <https://xojo.com/issue/49796>.
But I think youâre right⊠they donât get picked up again in current Xojo Versions, which is annoying 
And somehow Iâve run into the same situation that opening a 2018-er Version later, my customized Shortcuts were gone.
This seems to have been reported here: <https://xojo.com/issue/58555>
Letâs hope the next XojoVersion will fix that for goodâŠ!
