Inspect and edit KGlobalAccel keyboard shortcuts (global hotkeys) on KDE Plasma. Use when the user wants to bind, unbind, or audit a Meta/Ctrl/Alt key combination, or troubleshoot a shortcut that stopped firing.

Plasma global shortcuts are stored in `~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc` and managed by the `kglobalaccel` daemon.

Format in kglobalshortcutsrc:
ShortcutName=<active>,<default>,<friendly name>
# e.g.
Activate Krunner=Alt+Space,Alt+Space,Search
<active>=none to unbind.Meta+R\tAlt+F2.Use the kwriteconfig-edit skill for safe edits:
kwriteconfig6 --file kglobalshortcutsrc --group "krunner.desktop" \
--key "_launch" "Alt+Space,Alt+Space,KRunner"
Then reload:
qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /kglobalaccel org.kde.KGlobalAccel.reloadConfiguration
# or restart the daemon
kquitapp6 kglobalaccel && kstart kglobalaccel
Khotkeys / kglobalaccel custom shortcuts live in ~/.config/khotkeysrc. Editing this file directly is fragile — prefer the System Settings UI for new entries, then version-control the resulting file. Applying changes:
