Backing up key map configurations only and restoring them to a new copy of NVDA

[Justin Coffin]

Good morning,

Does anyone know how I can back up a copy of my key map files I created in the input gestures dialog so if I ever wanted to delete all my NVDA user settings and restore them to defaults can I restore my current key map configurations?

Thanks.

they're all stored in gestures.ini in the NVDA user configuration directory. :)

Thanks
