Feature Request Type

[X] Core functionality
[ ] Add-on hardware support (eg. audio, RGB, OLED screen, etc.)
[ ] Alteration (enhancement/optimization) of existing feature(s)
[X] New behavior

Description

Please implement import/export for keymap. Every time, after updating the firmware, you have to adjust the keys in a new way, which is inconvenient.

This probably refers to the Via keymappings (which override the QMK ones and which are wiped out as part of the flashing process).

The Via keymappings can be saved and loaded: SAVE + LOAD → Save and SAVE + LOAD → Load, respectively. Though a lot in Via prevent it working for raw numeric keycodes, e.g. 0x; so they have to be reentered manually every time after flashing.
