Description Patrick Silva 2020-08-30 12:43:23 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open system settings > Shortcuts
2. press alt key and observe the underlined letter of each button of the kcm
3. try to assign alt+<underlined letter of any button> shortcut to anything

OBSERVED RESULT
the shortcut pressed in the step 3 triggers its correspondent button/feature.
When Plasma language is english...
alt+a opens the window to choose an app;
alt+e triggers export feature;
alt+i triggers import feature;
alt+h opens help center;
alt+d reverts to defaults;
alt+r resets settings

EXPECTED RESULT
any alt+<letter> shortcut can be assigned to anything

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-09-08 14:25:41 UTC 
Heh, confirmed. I guess we should block the use of accelerators while assigning shortcuts.

Block shortcuts when recording key sequences

Otherwise you can't select alt+a as a shortcut without triggering the
nmenomic generated shortcut on the "add application" button.

Testing done:
- clicked "Add custom shortcut", pressed alt+a, it was recorded
successfully

- focussed "Add custom shortcut", pressed alt+a, the relevant shortcut
activated

Note that isRecording was already declared, but not defined, which is
why it looks like my diff misses something.
