How to exchange ONLY the keybindings between eclipse instances


When I exchange the complete preferences, my customized key bindings are exported along with the other stuff, but if i select Keys Preferences from the Export->Preferences menu, only a useless small subset of the shortcuts is exported.
There is a possibility to export all the bindings from the Keys Page which is worse then useless as it suggests a feature thet isn't there.
I don't want to mess up the complete setup, so:

is there a way to transfer just the key bindings and nothing else?

Thank you

btw : this post deals with the same topic but isnt helpful for the reasons above.


Solution

  • There is no automatic way as far as I know but the resulting file is XML, so you can export all the preferences and delete everything you don't want.

    The result should still load into Eclipse.
