I have a custom launch keyboard shortcut for Dolphin. There there no issues with KDE 5.x. Ever since KDE 6.0, much of the time it randomly disappears upon reboot. When initially configured, the shortcut is set correctly in: .config/kglobalshortcutsrc [services][org.kde.dolphin.desktop] _launch=... I have other custom global shortcuts, e.g. for launching KRunner search. Those survive the reboot without any issue. (Still happening with up to date Arch, KDE 6.2.4.)
I have the same problem. One day my shortcuts for Konsole (CTRL+ALT+T) and Dolphion (Meta+E) stopped working. I added them back and they worked until I rebooted, then I had to manually add them again. I now need to do this every time I reboot. Once I add them I can see them in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc: [services][org.kde.dolphin.desktop] _launch=Meta+E [services][org.kde.konsole.desktop] _launch=Ctrl+Alt+T However the shortcuts only persist for the current session and I lose them after a reboot. I've tried rebooting from the command line and via the Application Launcher. This only seems to affect the Dolphin and Konsole shortcuts. I have a custom shortcut that launches Kate with Meta+K and that always survives a reboot.

I might have fixed this on my system. I had two files in $HOME/.local/share/kglobalaccel called: org.kde.dolphin.desktop org.kde.konsole.desktop These files were created in November 2024. If I move these files to another directory and reboot my shortcuts persist as expected. The .desktop files are not recreated in $HOME/.local/share/kglobalaccel. Dolphin (Meta+E) and Konsole (CTRL+ALT+T) were the only two shortcuts I was having problems with. I don't know what created the .desktop files in kglobalaccel but removing them fixed my problem.

If they were in that location, they would be overriding what was set at the system level. What was in those files?

In this case everything makes sense, because those files don't have shortcuts defined in them. They must have been left over from a long time ago. You can safely delete them (and anything else in there that doesn't have a shortcut defined).
