I've customized my keyboard shortcuts and now I want to copy these shortcuts to another computer running Notepad++. How do I do this? I copied the xml files from C:\Program Files\Notepad++ to the other PC but it doesn't work. Are the keyboard shortcuts stored in the registry somewhere?
thanks,
Randy
Thanks for the fast and thorough explanation! My shortcuts.xml was in the application data folder and I was only copying the xml files from the program folder.

The file you want to copy is shortcuts.xml. Since you've already tried copying the xml files, my guess is that either you're either copying it from or to the wrong place. The file can be in one of two places. If you have a doLocalConf.xml file in your Notepad++ program folder, that means it's using the local folder as its data path, so the shortcuts.xml file should be there. If you don't have that file, then it will be in your application data folder. The easiest way to get there is to choose Run from the Windows Start menu, then type "%APPDATA%\notepad++" (including the quotes). Click OK.
Bear in mind that it may be set up as a local configuration on one computer and not the other, so you might need to do some experimenting to get it to work.
I hope this helps.
