Important: Darktable automatically restores missing default shortcuts at startup.

To prevent your custom layout from being messed up, you should disable this automatic feature.

  • Go to Darktable > Preferences > Miscellaneous.
  • Disable the option “restore key accelerators on startup” (if present/active).

Installation of the file:

  • Close Darktable
  • Replace the file shortcutsrc in your configuration folder with the new version.

Load your shortcutsrc file to begin editing. You can also drag & drop the file anywhere on this page.
