If you mean keyboard shortcuts, those will go back to defaults if you delete the audacity.cfg settings file.

I post my podcast to Bandcamp, w...

The missing piece in the jigsaw is that Chains do not support Export Multiple. Do you want to "vote" for that? Sometime we will improve Chains by adding missing features so we will review requests when we do that.
