Import/Export cinnamon keyboard shortcuts

[Crispycjr]

Request to add the ability to import and export keyboard shortcuts in some way. Most applets contain a feature similar to this in a hamburger menu:

I'm not sure how feasible this truly is given the nature of the system, but KDE Plasma includes this feature and it is an excellent one!(especially for those who distro-hop, or want to redownload/reinstall their system more frequently). It saves a lot of time.

You can accomplish this on the command-line or with a simple bash script since the settings are stored in the dconf backend's database:

• Dumping current keybinds to the terminal:

$ dconf dump /org/cinnamon/desktop/keybindings/

• Saving current keybinds to an export file:

$ dconf dump /org/cinnamon/desktop/keybindings/ > ~/my_keybinds

• Restore keybinds from a saved export file:

$ dconf load /org/cinnamon/desktop/keybindings/ < ~/my_keybinds

If you're not familiar, the arrows are redirection that specify input/output and the source/destination respectively. If you check out dconf, you'll find tons of other settings and possibilities as well. As usual, backups are recommended if you are unsure about an operation.
