SQLDeveloper: Sharing Shortcuts across the team

SQLDeveloper has an utility to export the short-cuts. It is an excellent way to ensure that short-cuts, are kept uniform, can be shared across the team. I have listed below steps to export the preferences and import them back.
1) Navigation: Tools-->Preferences (Screen -1)


2) Select Shortcut Keys (Screen -2)


3) Click on More Actions and select Export in the drop-down list (Screen -3)


4) Select the directory to save the file (Screen -4)

5) Importing the preferences is similar; follow the steps 1 & 2 and in step 3, select "Import" instead of "Export" and select file to import. (screen -5)


6). An confirmation window will appear (Screen -6), click on "yes" and the Short-cut preferences will be imported.
