Such a sync key mode has some implications we need to consider.

Currently Mixxx shows the most common key. It is normal that the key changes during a track.
There is also the issue that there is nothing like "the key" that you can detect. Mixxx detect the probability of all keys looking at the frequency of notes, than decides for the key with the most compatible notes.

So I think based on the current detection results, it needs human support to produce a reasonable good harmonic Mixxx.

I can imagine that a latching sync key button will do many odd things currently.
Once we have changing key support and a detection based on chords, such a latching mode makes much more sense.

Maybe we should postpone the feature to that point.
