Attachments:	screenshot filtered view with duplicates

screenshot filtered view with duplicates

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to configure keyboard shortcuts
2. Filter for 'split view'. 
3. Notice there are 'duplicated' entries: "Split View Left-Right" (no icon) and "Split View Left/Right" (with icon). Similarly for  "top/bottom"
4. As an example set Ctrl+Shift+E as additional "Split View Left-Right" shortcut.

OBSERVED RESULT
When I close the settings window all those split view shortcuts produce ".. is ambiguous" warning. Sometimes it happens immediately, sometimes one shortcut work and other doesn't, sometimes they work until I restart konsole.

After choosing "save shortcuts to scheme" the resulting file has indeed duplicated entries like
>  <Action name="split-view-left-right" shortcut="Ctrl+Shift+E"/>
in 2 places.

Split view shortcuts only seem to work with default keybindings without any user modifications.
I believe it has something to do with duplicated entries in shortcut list

BTW I've realized there's another shortcut option that works - "Split view automatically". It's very useful as a workaround for this issue. Most of the time I can use it instead of separate vertical and horizontal split commands. In other cases it's easy to rearrange splits by dragging split's headers.
