Currently, qutebrowser creates missing entries in keys.conf instead of leaving them unassigned.

Suppose I don't care about feature Y because I'll never use it, which is mapped by default to key X. If I remove it to avoid the 500ms delay when attempting to press a shorter key command (e.g. hit 't' and other options will appear for 500ms before 't' is actually triggered) or to avoid the risk of accidentally pressing a key and triggering it, it returns back in the config file when I reopen it.

This is very frustrating, as I'm trying to start from scratch with a new key mapping, but the software is destroying my work with the keys.conf file by adding garbage I don't need and creating duplicates.

I don't know the details, but I'm sure the new config system will help to solve this - see #499.

Yes, you are correct, it looks like this will be resolved then.

FWIW with the current config, it's probably easier to just use the :bind and :unbind commands. If you edit the config by hand, you'll need to bind them to a special <unbind> command.
