Hi friend! It is very frustrating that MM initializes the MarkdownMonster-KeyBindings.json and MarkdownMonster.json files every time you start MM and exit MM resulting in a loss of user settings.

I can't duplicate what you describe.

Since you're using the portable version, you need to have permissions to write files in the folder if you use the Portable version. If you can't figure that out, use the full version instead and it'll put it into a location that is writable.

Look where the settings are actually going to in your Settings:

This will point at the actual location that is being used when MM is running and this is the folder that has to have permissions for your account to be writing.

Thank you very much for your answer!
Or I will re-download Markdown Monster.exe to see if the situation will improve. . .
