Summary: Keyboard configuration window doesn't let change
anything anymore

SUMMARY
I had originally configured Yakuake to open/retract with Super+§ (On Finnish
QWERTY, as well as Swedish Dvorak, § is located where US keyboards have ~).
Because of another bug, I was forced to switch temporarily to Guake Terminal,
and decided I would still keep Yakuake, but change the keybindings, so I can
use Guake with Super+§.
That caused an issue that has made Yakuake basically useless in my case - I
specifically want it to open/retract from keyboard binding only. I did manage
to clear the old binding, but I wasn't able to assign a new one. When trying to
set it, you see the modifier keys your pressing (like Ctrl+Super, etc.), but
when you finally enter the key, most of the time you'll get no change at all.
Trying to select the default (F12) for Global keybinding also doesn't do
anything. Sometimes on some other binding, or different type (e.g. Global
Alternate) it looks like it assigned the binding - but only on the binding
editor - the new binding still wont show in the bindings list row.
I guess I could restore my old bindings by copying the configuration file from
one of my backup snapshots on an external drive. But I don't know where the
configuration files are located. That is, Yakuake main configurations, keyboard
configurations, profiles, and whatever there are. The configurations actually
seemed to come from Konsole, as I had created them on it, and they simply were
there when I first started Yakuake, but I don't know their location either. It
would also enable me to edit the configuration files by hand, if I knew where
they are.
Even so, this is a bad issue. I don't know if it happened after some of many
updates I've done, or if something has caused Yakuake to bug out and cause the
keyboard configuration window to not function correctly, but this is something
that should be fixed ASAP, if it can be identified by others.
I don't know the steps to reproduce this. It used to work, but there was a long
time and several updates between the last time I had modified the keyboard
bindings and when I recently tried to change the binding, but only ended up
removing it.
