I am wondering where to edit the keybindings for MonoDevelop in text/XML format.
I am in a situation where I switch regularly between a Mac and a PC, and the copy/paste function between the two is driving me crazy. I have physically remapped my Windows keyboard, so all of the functions are as close as I can get them except for copy/paste.

When I try to edit the key binding for copy in the editor window, I’m trying to set it to Alt + C (which physically/visually maps to the same location as Command + C on my keyboard). But when I hit this key combo to save it, that command is hard mapped to “cancel” in Windows 7’s OS, so it cancels out of the dialog window before I can successfully remap this config.

I haven’t been able to find, after some googling, where the config file is for this.
Thanks in advance

    On Mac OS, you can find your custom keybindings in ~/Library/MonoDevelop-3.0/KeyBindings/Custom.mac-kb.xml

    On WIndows, it’ll be something like C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\MonoDevelop-3.0\KeyBindings\Custom.kb.xml
