VSCode - Importing keyboard shortcuts

Question

I'm using VSCode on Windows and Ubuntu and I'd like to have the same keyboard shortcuts in both environment (saving my brain memory space for more useful stuff than hotkeys!). Is there a way to export the keyboard shortcut settings in one environment and import them in the other? Or any other way to uniformize them?

For example, auto-indent on Ubuntu is CTRL+SHIFT+I, whereas on Windows, it's ALT+SHIFT + F. I'd like to have the same for both.
