Actually the ones that are completely contained inside of a keyboard shortcut (rather than having additional files involved) do carry over between beta releases.

That previous "keep construction lines" one that I mentioned is like that - because the entire script is contained in the keyboard shortcut, that script gets stored in your moi.ini file and unless you have moved the moi.ini file it it will stay in its regular central location and be found automatically by a new beta release.

It's when you have a more intensive "custom command" installed which may contain a larger script or also has accompanying UI files, that you need to copy stuff over between releases. That's when there are additional files involved to run the script, like if you download a .zip file with stuff in it.

Yes, for every v2 beta release shortly after the release I've posted a utility program that will copy any custom commands you had for v1 over to the new v2 beta.

But you don't actually need that for this particular case with the "Keep construction lines" script since it does not have additional files, the whole script is just stored in the keyboard shortcut itself.
