Ideally, this shouldn't be required because it interrupts my workflow. One of
the settings changes may be more urgent than another, for example I can imagine
doing something urgently in a new activity and not wanting to spend time on
finalizing shortcut settings changes that are non-urgent.

There's also the aspect of human context switching which is expensive: If
Plasma asks me about shortcuts,
* I need to stop thinking about activities and start thinking about shortcuts
* Once I'm done reviewing the shortcuts, I need to start thinking about
activities and recall what I wanted to do with activities. There was probably a
chain (rabbit hole) of things I was doing as "dependencies" of the original
goal, creating an activity being one of them. Having to discard/save shortcuts
increases the depth of the rabbit hole by one.

Of course I can strictly sequence every configuration change, but that requires
additional effort / brainpower / time, and may be inappropriate in situations
where there's urgency.

Filed https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508972 which would fix the current
issue. Although the current issue can be fixed without
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508972 by providing a separate UI to an
create activity that doesn't involve running System Settings.
