SUMMARY

Unlike in PC, in Android it's impossible to modify the setting files of an app directly without root. But there's no option to import and export preferences (keyboard shortcuts, layouts etc).

If we are changing devices, or we want to move from Krita/F-Droid to Krita Nightly or Krita/Google Play (signature is different from F-Droid's so I can't update to it without uninstalling the F-Droid one). We need to do the settings by hand all over again.

I wish the Krita on F-Droid will receive update (though it's 3 years already with no update...) and benefit from this feature.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download Krita from F-Droid
2. Download another Krita version (e.g. Nightly or Google Play's version)

OBSERVED RESULT
No option to export/import preferences.

EXPECTED RESULT
We can export/import preferences. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
