i just define my inputs in autoloaded script and never in "project settings".. this way i can add and refernce what inputs are used and already bound.
And i can just copy over this file and reference it in autoload and just keep reusing the same binds.
Tho you need to redefine your function calls that get called by the input events in each project.
But i dont have any checks like the OP is offering. FOr a larger project it sounds like a good idea. Tho, are there any big godot projects in development?
