hello,

I haven't been able to find a nice way to get a summary of all 
keybindings (global, not per app) in KDE. The kreadconfig5 is very 
cumbersome....

My quick hack in python is in 
https://github.com/teuben/teunix/blob/master/scripts/ksettings_all

and the output looks something like this:


# kwin
Activate Window Demanding Attention                : Ctrl+Alt+A
Clear Last Mouse Mark                              : Meta+Shift+F12
Clear All Mouse Marks                              : Meta+Shift+F11
Toggle Present Windows (Current desktop)           : Ctrl+F9
Toggle Present Windows (All desktops)              : Ctrl+F10\tLaunch (C)
Toggle Present Windows (Window class)              : Ctrl+F7
Kill Window                                        : Ctrl+Alt+Esc


mine has about 144 entries, the way I wrote it. It comes from parsing 
the ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc, which has close to 300 entries in my case.

So, is there a  better way?  I found 3 cheat sheets, but they are 
shorter versions, and are not the one  you might have been tinkering with:
