Bug Description

Marking this down from the user survey. It'd be nice if Mixxx first checked for a keyboard preset in ~/.mixxx first, and then if it doesn't exist there, use the one bundled with Mixxx. That way users can customize the keyboard preset without having to change the /usr/share/mixxx one, take their profile with them to a new computer, etc.

Fixed in trunk r2352. Mixxx now looks for "Custom.kbd.cfg" in the same directory as your "mixxx.cfg" file. (This depends on your OS.) If that file is present, it will override the standard one. (You can verify this in mixxx.log and/or the console output in the first few lines. It will say "Found custom keyboard preset.")

Can this be included in the preferences with a few preset ones? I keep trying to do the shortcuts with serato, it would be nice if it was built in. I can see virtualdj and the other main programs having options as well.
