The associations made only supersede the current keymap and do not change the keymap itself.

You can also return a keymap back to its original configuration by clicking on the default button in the Map Selected Key dialog.

Keymap Editor

The Keymap Editor allows you to modify an existing keymap or create a new one. In this way, you can make keymap customizations that can be used with multiple sessions.
