How to transfer keyboard shortcuts in Everything between computers
I thought transferring one's keyboard shortcuts from one computer to another would be a simple matter of copying the Everything.ini file in %APPDATA% and pasting it into the new computer's Everything %APPDATA% folder, deleting the default Everything.ini file in the process. However, doing this did not transfer my custom keyboard shortcuts to the new computer. Does anyone have any tips on how to troubleshoot the reason for this? Thank you so much for this lifechanging software!
