It was said that you can map/change keyboard shortcuts to things using MacOS’s Keyboard App Shortcuts section in System Settings. This is technically true.
Unfortunately as I’ve just discovered, those shortcuts are deleted when you update the program and replace it. I had a number of keyboard shortcuts to remap some tag commands and updated the app. The entire mp3tag app shortcuts section I made is now gone in System Settings. I do not want to map these every time I update the app.
Hopefully this in combination with my other thread of being able to map Search/Replace and other people’s threads asking for a more robust keyboard mapping ability will get the ball moving for discussion on implementing something in app.

Can you describe how you've updated the app to make the app-specific keyboard shortcuts disappear? Is this with the standalone version or with the version from the Mac App Store?
I have configured some of those myself and they usually persist across app updates.

The standalone one. I just replaced it with the newer version.
