Also, at least for something like this feels like hack more than anything. Maybe its not, i did not look inside the code. But just from outside I would assume that would break with every GIMP release and even if not it would never feel "right".

If you mean PhotoGimp, it's just a config file thst rebinds keybinds and sets up UI layout, like location of tools and windows, to be similar to photoshop.
