A) SUMMARY OF ISSUE:

- customized keyboard shortcuts revert to default after restarting

B) DETAILED STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Add a few custom keyboard shortcuts. Select done. They work fine. Rename and mark done. they work fine.

2. Restart djay

3. keyboard shortcuts return to default

4. Can reselect my keyboard shortcuts set , select done and they work fine until next app restart.

C) EXPECTED RESULTS:

- Custom keyboard shortcuts set act as the new default on app restart.

D) ACTUAL RESULTS:

- keyboard shortcuts return to default on djay restart.

Notes: I believe this was happening with djay Pro 5.6.4 as well. Same behavior with and without controller plugged in.
