Store Renoise Keyboard Shortcuts on iCloud Drive and Link to Them Symbolically from Renoise Folder

--

Hi, this has been bothering me for a while, but I’m glad it did work.

Objective: Want to use the same KeyBindings.xml across multiple machines — i.e. only one Renoise Shortcut settings file, always saved, always safe.

  1. Quit Renoise, open Terminal.
  2. Go to ~/Library/Preferences/Renoise
  3. Change into the folder you want to make the symbolic link to, in this case, 3.1.1
  4. Delete KeyBindings.xml
  5. Type, in my case: ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/KeyBindings.xml (if you use DropBox, you’d be putting a stable link-to-file from there so something like ~/Dropbox/Keybindings.xml maybe?
  6. Start Renoise and verify that they’re there.

They’re there. Congrats!
