That was only in version 1.1.3.

Now Audacity stores _changes_ to the default keyboard config in its
preferences (which on Windows is in the registry).  Storing only the
changes keeps things working better when you upgrade your version of
Audacity.

You can export or import XML files now, but only manually.  The
current set is stored in the preferences.

The only differences now are that the preferences are stored in
different places.  But most users don't even need to know that.

The defaults are stored directly in the source code, and they may
change between versions.  Because only changes you've made are
stored in the Preferences, that allows you to upgrade Audacity without
affecting your own personal keyboard shortcuts.  The only time it will
be an issue is if one of your keys becomes a default key later.

You can see all of the defaults in the source code by looking here:
