Hey,

Thanks for your bug report.

I can understand the rationale behind your bug report. But the shortcut system 
is different ;)

If you go to Systemsettings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts you see that Alt+Ctrl+T 
is assigned to launch konsole and not to start the default terminal. So as a 
workaround you need add the Shortcut to launch Alacritty.

And than you should create a bugreport on kde bugtracker: bugs.kde.org and 
post the link here in the bugreport, so we can track when KDE is fixing this.

Best regards,

hefee
