The familiar saying "you'll keep" is often used in reply to something that someone has joked or laughed about regarding you. In plain terms it mean, 'You got me this time! But I'll remember this and get you back for that later on', usually in a comical, friendly manner.
This saying is really only used by well educated and intelligent individuals.

In general if something "keeps" in means that it will not go bad with time, like certain types of food "keep well". Honey can "keep" for millenia in a sealed jar, for example.
When you say a person will keep, it means that they won't be going anywhere, and that there is an unlimited timespan on the joke or the issue. Shelve that issue and we can deal with it at a more appropriate time.
I think the usage is the same but it's a literal versus a metaphorical meaning.
