If you have 'Assign Tag "xxx"' shortcuts assigned in a keyboard scheme, changing to another scheme will delete those shortcuts. Other shortcuts remain unchanged. To reproduce: 1. Assign a tag shortcut in the Tag Manager. Tag shortcuts cannot be initially assigned from the 'Configure Keyboard Shortcuts' dialogue. 2. In 'Configure Keyboard Shortcuts,' change to another scheme (Manage Schemes > Current scheme). 3. Go back to the original scheme. 4. 'Assign Tag' shortcuts will be unassigned.
After playing around with it a bit and trying to save the key shortcuts, I think it's a bug in the Key Shortcut Editor. The Key Shortcut Editor is part of KDE though. It is possible to export a key shortcut scheme. At the moment I would recommend doing this to save the created tag shortcuts. Maik

Fortunately this isn't really a problem for me (and probably most people) since I don't change shortcut schemes, but I thought I would report it since some do. I found this bug while trying to resolve a bunch of 'key sequence is ambiguous' conflicts with my shortcuts. As an aside, what fixed that was clearing all the keyboard shortcuts in the Default scheme. You can't delete the Default scheme. Well, you can, but it will resurrect every time you restart digiKam.
I have tested a few more. We save the tag key shortcuts in the digiKam database. So if the schema is reset, the tag key shortcuts in the database are also deleted. This also makes it possible to change the tag key shortcuts via the editor. I actually don't see any errors here. So if you have made extensive schema changes, you should create a backup using the export function. Maik
Even if not technically an error, I would still say that this is unexpected behavior since (1) other shortcuts persist after changing schemes and (2) the ability to change schemes with no warning about shortcut deletions implies that changing schemes is a non-destructive action. Of course, it is always helpful to have backups :) but ideally things being deleted shouldn't occur without some warning or indication. For reference, could you note any other shortcuts, settings, etc. this is the case for? (Database deletion upon switching schema, that is.) Thanks!
