A shortcut set another app saved as slash-name text (a .kys file whose
text starts with a slash name and "{", such as "/Menus {") opens in
Import Shortcut Set from File › Open, from Edit › Keyboard Shortcuts ›
Import… in the desktop app, or from a drop on the window, whether or
not a document is open. The dialog proposes a target for an entry when
an earlier import kept one for that name, or else when one tool,
command or panel matches the name clearly by its id or by one of its
labels. It decodes the file's key and modifier codes from the codes
earlier imports kept, from the example in the AiCommandPalette README
(/Key 48 for the 0 key, with /Modifiers 0 taken as no modifiers), and
from VectorCraft's default shortcuts where at least two entries vote and
four votes in five agree. The user picks the remaining targets, presses
the key for each unknown key code or marks it No equivalent, and chooses
the modifiers for each unknown modifier code. Apply assigns the ready
rows with the Keyboard Shortcuts rules: a tool takes a single key,
optionally with Shift. It goes through the rows from the last one back
and leaves a row out when a later row it applies has the same shortcut
or the same tool, command or panel. Keyboard Shortcuts then shows the
result as unsaved changes until the user clicks OK. Copy Report copies
the set's name, the rows Apply leaves out and the parts of the file that
weren't read.

- shortcutSet.read is a query command: it reads a set and does not
  modify the document or the preferences. It returns each entry with
  its section, codes and line, and up to 1,000 skipped tokens, each cut
  to 80 characters. It reads at most 4 MiB of text and 20,000 entries,
  skips blocks nested more than 16 deep and cuts names at 1,024 bytes.
  With a path it reads at most 4 MiB and 4 bytes of the file, and with
  --automation-read-root (#832) the path must lie inside the read root.
  A file whose text starts with "<", such as an XML shortcut file saved
  as UTF-8, fails with "This shortcut file is in a form VectorCraft
  can't read."
- importMatches.list, importMatches.set and importMatches.reset read
  and change the matches kept with the preferences; resetting the
  preferences keeps them. With Remember My Choices on (the default),
  Apply keeps the targets and codes the user chose, and for the rows it
  assigns, it also keeps the matched targets and the codes decoded by
  agreement. A later import proposes them.
- The name matcher compares a name with ids by exact match and shared
  words. It compares the name with labels, in English and in the
  interface language, by exact match, shared words and character
  pairs. It proposes a match only when one tool, command or panel
  scores at least 0.6 and at least 0.1 more than the next one.
- When Import Shortcut Set is opened from Keyboard Shortcuts, Cancel,
  Escape and ui.dialog.cancel close it and return to Keyboard Shortcuts
  as it was (dialogs::PARENT). A document's queued Missing Fonts dialog
  (#792) opens after Keyboard Shortcuts closes.
- File › Open has a "Shortcut sets" filter, and in the desktop app
  Keyboard Shortcuts' Import… shows .json and .kys files.
