Description Lt-Henry 2022-11-08 10:37:01 UTC 
Konsole global hotkey was default to CTRL+ALT+T. At some point, we upgraded from 5.23 (not sure, sorry) to 5.25 and that key combination broke. As a distro, the only way we have found to fix this, is by supplying a custom kglobalshortcutsrc on skel. We had no luck with $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.

However, there are some problems with this approach:

* It only works on a fresh new user home
* The file has localized strings inside in the "comment" key

I think the mechanism for distros to provide a default set of shortcuts needs another approach. 

PS: default application shortcut is already on .desktop files. Wouldn't be a good idea to fill global access with this info and let users to only override?

FWIW the Konsole shortcut will be fixed with https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/723
