Short description of error
It seems that if an addon makes a customization to a modal keymap, this customization only works until you restart blender. After restart, the keymap is not restored properly (left blank) and the only way to fix is to disable/re-enable the addon again.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Install and Enable the attached .py addon
    • It adds a modal keymap for circle select (makes it so that circle select is active only if you hold down the C key)
  • Save Preferences
  • Notice that things work correctly. Circle select is only active while holding down the C key
  • Restart blender
  • Notice the keymap no longer works. Check the keymap in user preferences and notice that the new entry is actually blanked out

The same issue happens when you define a complete new tool with a shortcut using bl_keymap. On first Add-on activation, the shortcut works. On restarting Blender, it is non-functional. But if you reload all scripts while Blender is still running, the shortcut works again. I have used this class from the Templates to verify this behavior:

bl_info = {
    "name": "Shortcutter",
    "author": "Bug Reporter",
    "version": (1, 0),
    "blender": (2, 80, 0),
}

import bpy
from bpy.types import WorkSpaceTool

class MyTool(WorkSpaceTool):
    bl_space_type='VIEW_3D'
    bl_context_mode='OBJECT'

    # The prefix of the idname should be your add-on name.
    bl_idname = "my_template.my_circle_select"
    bl_label = "My Circle Select"
    bl_description = (
        "This is a tooltip\n"
        "with multiple lines"
    )
    bl_icon = "ops.generic.select_circle"
    bl_widget = None
    bl_keymap = (
        ("view3d.select_circle", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS'},
         {"properties": [("wait_for_input", False)]}),
        ("view3d.select_circle", {"type": 'LEFTMOUSE', "value": 'PRESS', "ctrl": True},
         {"properties": [("mode", 'SUB'), ("wait_for_input", False)]}),
    )

    def draw_settings(context, layout, tool):
        props = tool.operator_properties("view3d.select_circle")
        layout.prop(props, "mode")
        layout.prop(props, "radius")


def register():
    bpy.utils.register_tool(MyTool, after={"builtin.scale_cage"}, separator=True, group=True)

def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_tool(MyTool)
