How do I sync my preferences?

I have photoshop installed on one laptop with a bunch very specific preferences set up like keyboard shortcuts, etc.

Now I have just installed it on a second laptop. I'm expecting there to be a way for my preferences to be saved as part of my creative cloud user account so that the application is automatically configured how I want it on the second laptop. But if there is such a feature I have yet to find it.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Since the link is no longer active - is there finally a way to sync prefs without fiddling with system files? I thought that was supposed to be the great advantage of Adobe Cloud, since syncing 6 GB sized files or ginormous video files doesn't make any practical sense at all. 
We still have to "reset preferences" sometimes, why this still isn't under control after decades is beyond me, of course I can always open my PDF with screenshots, but I'd rather have a better UX than AI filters. So whyt's happening here?
