By default, it's the one defined in Utils.py: generate_key is registered
as the key 'Default', and this one is set in the configuration dialog.

You can name it anything you want. Then, you register it :

Autoload.register ('key', 'My Nifty Key', generate_nifty_key)

...and it should appear in Settings / Preferences / Base / Keyformat
