In what file are the keyboard shortcuts saved in Linux Mint Cinnamon 18 ?

I want to backup the shortcuts so if I know the file where the shortcuts are saved, I can simply create a symlink to the shortcut file after reinstalling the OS.

You can utilize the following to export your keyboard shortcuts to a file:

$ dconf dump /org/cinnamon/desktop/keybindings/ > dconf-settings.conf

This requires the dconf-cli package to be installed. Then, to import the file after making any desired keybinding changes:

$ dconf load /org/cinnamon/desktop/keybindings/ < dconf-settings.conf

  Apologies, I've updated my answer to include details for exporting the file. I've only been able to test this on Cinnamon 17, so let me know if you encounter any errors.
