I use Bodhi on several machines, and I don't want to redo 100+ key bindings on every installation, so, is there a way to transfer them from one Bodhi installation to another?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Actually yes, the config files are stored in your home folder in .e/e/config/bodhi. The file is called e.cfg.
BTW, my near future plan is to have a separated binding file called bindings.cfg as e.cfg includes more than just bindings. There are many Moksha config values.

Thanks! I'm curious as to why it's all called "e" though, sounds a little bit un-descriptive.

It is very descriptive when you know some history facts. E is a shortcut for Enlightenment which is a windows manager our Moksha comes from  |

Oh, good to know that, that's actually quite cool.
I'm having a problem though, I transferred the e.cfg file, restarted the machine, but the key bindings were unchanged.
Tried copying the entire config folder, still nothing, so, what am I doing wrong?
I tried searching for e.cfg in system folders, but, the only file with this name is in the folder you mentioned.
I only have one user on the target machine, so it's not the wrong home folder.

That's weird. It should work. Actually I have never tested this way by myself but it should work in theory. Maybe someone else tried it in the past and will answer. If I have more time, I will try it and let you know...

EDIT: OK, I transfered e.cfg to another computer to ~/.e/e/config/bodhi folder, restarted Moksha with CTRL ALT END and I have the same bindings as in source PC. So yea, it works as I expected...

I did some more tests, I tried deleting all bindings in the target machine, and creating a few random ones, then replacing e.cfg from another machine, restarting, but the bindings were unchanged.
I tried creating a different set of bindings in the source machine and transferring them to the target machine, then restarting, still no change.
No matter what I do, nothing seems to change the bindings, except creating them manually.
Could it be because I don't have a keyboard attached to the target machine, or the user name is different, or something like that?
