SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.4 
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.101.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
KDE is great because it's customizable. Custom shortcuts are powerful tools for
users (me). Recent changes have made custom shortcuts difficult to implement
and understand. Neither adding hot keys for scripts nor customizing inputs to
applications are supported. The former shortcut exports, for example, included
text descriptions of the shortcut key and associated commands, e.g.:
CommandURL=dolphin /home/mls/Dropbox/Papers\\ private/PDFs/  and 
Key=Ctrl+Alt+P

Now the custom shortcut list is in "custom shortcuts service",  added
applications don't include scripts or command line options, exported shortcuts
are incomprehensible KDE_NET_WM_ACTIVITIES strings  and  key chords, e.g.: 
{f5c8913d-7c80-4a3c-9a43-8f5536f2a479}=Ctrl+Alt+U

Please restore this functionality so users can easily create and modify
keyboard shortcuts. The current implementation makes  KDE less useful.
