If this already exists, then forgive me for posting this, but I couldn't find anything in the UI or searching bugzilla.

Currently, there is no way to import/export keymaps.  Key mapping is one of the most painful points of transition between different IDEs.  If there were a way to export and import key maps, then people could more easily transition to Eclipse by simply downloading a keymapping for their favorite IDE (or using a packaged key mapping).

You can export and import specifically eclipse Key preferences using File>Export...>General>Preferences (and File>Import... etc)

Is this not what you are looking for?  There also used to be a CSV option, although it's not in 3.3

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
