I want to read xkeyval options from an external file, like:

setkeysmy@keysinputconf

I tried several combinations of edef and expandafter, but to no avail. Any ideas?

You can't edef an input because it isn't expandable. You have to first read the contents of the file to a temporary variable and then pass that to setkeys.

Here's an expl3 implementation of setkeysFile. It's the same as the standard setkeys except that the second argument is a file that (should) contain a comma separated list of key-value pairs.

RequirePackagefilecontents
beginfilecontents*conf.tex
hello = world :D,
goodnews = everyone!,
endfilecontents*
documentclassarticle
usepackagexkeyval
makeatletter
define@keymy@keyshellodeftowhom#1
define@keymy@keysgoodnewsdefwho#1
makeatother

usepackagexparse
ExplSyntaxOn
tl_new:N l__nicolas_setkeys_tl
NewDocumentCommand setkeysFile m m 
 
 file_get:nnNTF #2 l__nicolas_setkeys_tl
 exp_args:NnV setkeys #1 l__nicolas_setkeys_tl 
 __kernel_msg_error:nnn kernel file-not-found #2 
 
ExplSyntaxOff

  Thanks :-) But why more correct? Oh, nevermind, it's because V gets the value of a register, and a register is an N type. Am I correct?
