It would be great if FastKeys could sync the settings over multiple computers.

I think this suggestion is obsolete. It is fine to save settings on OneDrive or Dropbox.

Yes, you can save/use a settings file (and phrase files/wordlists) from any folder location. However keep in mind that in case of many users accessing the same file, when data is saved by one user it will override the settings for all.

For more advanced usage, we suggest an Enterprise version of FastKeys.

I want only to have it just for one user.

Agree that this would be a very useful addition to FastKeys

Some people work in settings with very locked down IT, so having settings sync automatically across devices would be very beneficial

Seems like it should be something relatively easy to implement in this day and age

To have the settings automatically synced simply save FastKeys settings file to a cloud (OneDrive, Dropbox etc) or a shared network drive.

For example:
- on the first computer, use File/Save As... to save the settings file to synced cloud folder,
- on the second computer, use File/Open... to load the settings file from a synced cloud folder.
