Where find Kate text editor key map / shortcuts config file?

Question

Where do I find the config file that contains Kate text editor's keyboard shortcuts, so that I might copy it to a new installation?

And how might I otherwise restore the key settings conveniently?

I'm trying to recover Kate config, while migrating from broken linux installation.

I copied most those Kate config files I found. This has restored to Kate my theme, snippets and sessions. But all the keyboard shortcuts I set up (using its very well made keyboard shortcut dialog) are not restored. Indeed, my recovered snippets are not much use because the key bindings are no longer there. They must be there somewhere?

Searched this myself today and document it for there future now. You find the keymapping in this file:

/home/<USERNAME>/.local/share/kxmlgui5/katepart/katepart5ui.rc

Using Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon.
