How do I import/export my custom preferences for Spyder? e.g. if I am installing it on a new machine and would like to import my color/interpreter/keymapping defaults from my original installation.

On macOS, choose Preferences in the Python or Spyder menu. On Windows, choose Preferences in the Tools menu.
spyder{-py3}/config (Windows, macOS) or ~/. config/spyder{-py3}/config (Linux) in your home or Users directory. That directory contains a file called spyder. ini , which has all user preferences.
Spyder is a free and open source scientific environment written in Python, for Python, and designed by and for scientists, engineers and data analysts.
Q: How do I reset Spyder's preferences to the defaults? Either use the Reset Spyder to factory defaults under Tools in Spyder's menu bar, the Reset Spyder settings Start menu shortcut (Windows), or run spyder --reset in your system terminal (Anaconda prompt on Windows).
(Spyder maintainer here) Sorry, there's no way to import/export our Preferences right now.
However, you can look for a directory called .spyder{-py3}/config (Windows, macOS) or ~/.config/spyder{-py3}/config (Linux) in your home or Users directory. That directory contains a file called spyder.ini, which has all user preferences. You should be able to copy/paste that file among computers without problems (although we haven't tested that).
If you find any trouble with that method, you can reset your preferences by opening a system terminal (cmd.exe, Terminal.app or xterm) and running there
spyder --reset
