They use a configuration file Boa uses a source file.

In PrefsKeys.py every configurable keybinding used in Boa is listed
in the keyDefs dictionary.

I have just added the following snippet to the end of PrefsKeys.py:

try:
    from PrefsCustomKeys import overrideKeyDefs
except ImportError:
    pass
else:
    keyDefs.update(overrideKeyDefs)

Now add your own CustomPrefsKeys.py defining overrideKeyDefs with all 
the keys you want to redefine.

If anybody has redefined PrefsKeys.py to match other editors, 
please mail it to me.
