Expected Behavior
Keep my plugin related keyboard shortcuts, even if the plugin is not loaded.
Current Behavior
Lost all (set at OBS' Hotkey window) plugin related keyboard shortcuts because the plugin was not updated, so it wasn't loaded.
Steps to Reproduce
- Install a plugin like Moving Transition
- Set some shortcuts
- Upgrade OBS
- Check the shortcuts
Anything else we should know?
This is probably not a bug, but keeping the shortcuts saved even if the plugin is not loaded or installed, seems, to me, a good idea. Maybe asking for removal if not detected; group them by plugin inside the Hotkeys scene related to it.

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the plugin upgrade scenario in OBS Studio with the Moving Transition plugin and inspect how its hotkeys are handled when the plugin is unavailable. Done means plugin-related shortcuts remain available after the plugin is not loaded, with any removal behavior defined.
