If you want to find out what keyboard shortcut Meta+0 does then you have to first choose appropriate kde component. You have to select and search through a lot of component to find out the one that could contain the keyboard shortcut that you are looking for. Keyboard shortcut should be searchable across components.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. System Settings > Shortcuts > Global Keyboard Shortcut.
2. Select a component and search.
3. Repeat 2 until you figure out the right component.

Actual Results:  
A keyboard should is only searchable in its own component.

Expected Results:  
Keyboard shortcuts should be searchable across components

this is also a problem i am facing regular. 

i would suggest an approach, that is orientated towards filters on components. I.e. one could select all components, a subset of them or just a single one.

I'm surprised that this has been reported in 2015 and it hasn't been addressed yet. This is a no brainer.

Please no user customized "filters" on components. Just search everything and organize the search results by component, visually. There is no need for the user to "filter" anything, only to select the appropriate search result. Just make it simple.
