System Information
Windows 10 AMD HD5850

Blender Version
Broken: 2.78 (and likely before)
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Rebinding the key for dynamic context menu ("spacebar" by default) changes binding in all KeyConfig presets. So if I create a new KeyConfig preset and change the binding to for example "action mouse" the blender default, 3DS max and Maya and any other KeyConfig changes as well.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
No .blend file needed. Go to User Preferences>Addons and activate Dynamic Context Menu. Next go to Input and navigate to the 3D View>3D View (Global) Section and find the "call menu" entry that belongs to Dynamic Context Menu (should be the first). Change the binding to anything other than "spacebar". Now change the KeyConfig preset to something else. Note that the binding has also changed there. Now restore the binding to default and switch back to the previous KeyConfig preset and notice that your binding has been reset there too.

The Dynamic Context Menu although an "oldie" is still a usefull addon, but so is search. It would be nice if you could use it under a different key binding, but if this possibly disrupts other existing keymapping configurations this can be an issue.

hi, this is not a bug, if you have the addon active and change it's keybinding it's expected that the keybinding is globally accepted across keymaps.
I would expect any or all addons to do this.
closing as invalid

Like @BrendonMurphy said, that is related to how add-on/user script shortcuts get registered/handled in general and not only to Dynamic Context Menu.

In the future with establishing the Blender Templates (101 project) and reworking of the shortcuts system that could possibly be changed.

For now You can go around it several ways.

The Search is included on top in the Dynamic menu > regular clicking (too slow sometimes)
Look at the little underline in the Search entry - it should be under a letter (in 2.77, 2.78 and 2.79 is S) so Press Spacebar + S and start typing for the operator.
First 9 entries in menu can be accessed with number keys. Since Search is first you can Press Spacebar + 1
Edit the script default in python. To check what keys are not used the Is Key Free can be helpful (add-on is shipped with 2.79).
