Where does eclipse keep it's key-binding settings? I want to transfer them from one system to another. If there is a tool for this that would be good but if not, I'm willing to copy files (really all settings should be the same on both systems.)

A:
Export: File -> Export -> General -> Preferences -> Keys Preferences
Import: File -> Import -> General -> Preferences -> Choose file

This saves them as CSV (to be put into Excel, I guess), and there's no way to import keys from CSV, AFAIK

As of Eclipse 3.4, this method exports the keys as Eclipse preferences

Yes, but there's no way to import them, which kinda defeats the purpose. Or am I wrong?

You're wrong :) The "prefs" file format allows you to selectively import the "Keys Preferences" or whatever else you exported.

A:
export all your Eclipse prefs to a file.
File->Export->General->Preferences
Import has an option to import only key settings from this file.
File->Import->General->Preferences

Note that you can only see keybindings in the Export list once you have configured some non-default keybindings!

The "Export CSV"-button under keys-preferences might make you think there's an import. Ofcourse there's not. Gaah.

Seriously, what the hell? Ambiguous and broken functionality.
