Probably following KDE/Plasma upgrade, likely from 5.x to 6.x, shortcuts have duplicate entries in system services, see joined screenshot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just check Shortcut settings on an old setup.

OBSERVED RESULT

Duplicate system services entries.

EXPECTED RESULT

These dupes shouldn't exist.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: ArchLinux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.5
Qt Version: 6.8.1

Can you attach a screenshot of what's inside each of the two "KDE Daemon" entries?
Comment 2 Porkepix 2025-01-27 22:42:43 UTC 
Sure, and same for KWin, because that one is also duped.

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2025-01-28 00:46:21 UTC 
Both "KDE Daemon" entries and the "KWin" entry without an icon can be removed. Unfortunately these kinds of leftovers can happen with big upgrades, and we err on the side of caution by not automatically removing them, lest we break the system. Based on the contents in those files, you can safely remove them yourself though.
Comment 8 Porkepix 2025-01-28 01:14:37 UTC 
I'd be curious though as to what led to duplicate entries being created (and some without icons), and why KDE Daemon can be completely removed for both, including the one with icon and an entry in it?
Comment 9 Nate Graham 2025-01-28 01:18:21 UTC 
The items inside them were moved elsewhere in Plasma 6.
