So it seems the only efficient solution to this problem is still using another software if you don't want to spend additional time setting up multiple passes and comp it?

Shame...

AnimGraphLab
Just in case, for someone still figuring out..

1. Open Houdini -> Alt+Shift+P (Python Shell).
2. Paste the code below replacing your old and new keymap paths. I keep them at Documents/houdini.

For Windows:

import keymaputils
keymaputils.importV1KeymapBindingsToKeymapFile(
    "C:\\Users\\<YOUR_USERNAME>\\Documents\\houdini20.5\\animgraphlab_hotkeys_20.5.keymap2", 
    "C:\\Users\\<YOUR_USERNAME>\\Documents\\houdini20.5\\animgraphlab_hotkeys.keymap", 
    "C:\\Users\\<YOUR_USERNAME>\\Documents\\houdini20.5\\animgraphlab_hotkeys_20.5_NEW.keymap2", 
    "KeymapName"
)

animgraphlab_hotkeys_20.5.keymap2is a default keymap from H20.5 that I manually saved.

Ondrej mentioned about it: "to act as source from which we will look up the bindings in the old .keymap file and generate a new .keymap2 file".


In my case, all hotkeys were updated.

Thank you but this can't be seriously a way to load hotkey configurations in 5k software, can it?
Are there any plans to make Hotkey management user friendly again? Eben manually configuring hotkeys is time consuming and tedious.
But somehow it seems to fit into the grand scheme of things.... Houdini is now my most time consuming part of my job. It actually costs me more than I get paid for because no one pays me for configuring hotkeys. And I can't hire a TD for that

Edit: Even the Help file is not updated for the lack of a search bar. Am I missing some thing?
I have no way of knowing what all the action terms are so the filter is of no use. I am trying to set a hot key for a radial menu in the node tree but filtering to "radial" yield zero results. How is anybody supposed to work this way?

Wow. Just wow. I was trying for half an hour to import my hotkeys. Now I find this thread. On the positive side: I am not crazy. On the negative side: Wow. Just Wow.
