Removing the shortcut ALT+F1 for showing the K-menu (app-launcher) from Global-shortcuts settings (plasmashell section) does not persist between sessions, so after a logout/login it remains active. One has to disable it by right-clicking on the K-menu -> App launcher settings, and go to Shortcuts, click the X (remove) to make it persistent across logins Reproducible: Always
Not Kicker-specific, moving to general.
being saved in appletsrc as well it probably re-defined it at next start while unsetting it from the applet configuration should save it correctly can you try it's the case? would narrow down the problem
A similar thing is happening to me, but the shortcut I'm unable to change is the one related to the keyboard layout switcher (Ctrl-Alt-K). Anything I can do to help debug this? I can't find an appletsrc file.

I've been affected by this bug since I updated from KDE 4 to KDE 5 three months ago. Arch Linux. plasmashell 5.6.4.
This happens on my system as well. I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed. Clean account doesn't make any difference.
Removing this shortcut by right-clicking on the K-menu and "Application Launcher Settings" -> "Keyboard shortcuts" works for me.
Similar thing is happening to me, Application Launcher shortcut changes are not preserved between sessions. KDE Plasma 5.7.5 and Fedora 24 here.
Can confirm this bug - Alt+F1 shortcut becomes active again after logging out and logging in and after restarting of system (In reply to Andreas Joseph Krogh from comment #8) > Removing this shortcut by right-clicking on the K-menu and "Application > Launcher Settings" -> "Keyboard shortcuts" works for me. This method of disabling shortcut work for me Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches Plasma: 5.11.3 Frameworks: 5.41.0 Qt: 5.9.1 Kernel 4.10.0-38-generic Type: 64-bit

applet.cpp calls KGlobalAccel::self()->setShortcut(d->activationAction, seqs, KGlobalAccel::NoAutoloading); noautoloading means we'll never load from the globalshortcuts config, we're always overriding it with whatever we have in the plasma config. Normally apps use setDefaultShortcut, not setShortcut. If it's changed externally we get globalShortcutChanged but we're not updating our config. Will try and fix.

David, this is bug 300532, right? As per bug 300532 comment #3, I was not sure if this should be fixed in plasmashell or in the KCM. Please mark duplicates, if appropiate.
I've had this problem for literally years... Finally found a reddit post where someone suggested right-clicking on the application launcher and setting its shortcut in its settings dialog, then clearing Alt-F1 from the global shortcuts. Hopefully it'll work this time!
on 5.20.4 still alive bug
on 5.20.4 works: 1) Right-click on "Start Menu" 2) Click on "Setting widget "Start Page"... Alt + D, S" 3) Submenu "Keyboard shortcuts" 4) Remove and press "OK" Profit!
Sure, I can remove the shortcut for the current session, but the point is that the change doesn't persist. Upon logging out & back in again the shortcut is back.
On 5.20.5 still alive bug.
This appears to be fixed as of Plasma 5.27.
