KDE shortcuts
Generated from the repo’s captured kglobalshortcutsrc. This describes
Fiw’s bindings as configured; applying them is a separate installer action.
It covers KDE global shortcuts, not every shortcut inside individual applications.
67 assigned actions · 193 unassigned actions · 260 total
Meta is the Super/Windows key. In the full tables, multiple keys for
one action are alternatives. Grouped summary keys match the named actions
in order. “Unassigned” means explicitly disabled in this capture;
a key in the KDE default column is not an active binding. The default
column is copied from KDE’s stored values, not inferred from a release.

Screenshot bindings use fiw-shot: copy to clipboard, then offer Save
or Edit in the notification. They need Spectacle, wl-copy and
notify-send; Kitty and KRunner bindings need their respective apps.
The native Spectacle bindings are unassigned to avoid competing actions.
The desktop-move bindings are stored as literal symbols (!, @, #).
On a US layout these usually mean Shift+1/2/3; other layouts can differ.
The keyboard-layout preset contains US English, Russian and Spanish;
Meta+Alt+Space cycles through them. Shortcut restoration does not
create three virtual desktops or activities on a new installation.
Captured choices
Forward window switching is currently unassigned; reverse switching
uses Alt+Shift+Tab and Meta+Shift+Tab.
Other currently unassigned shortcuts include Peek at Desktop (Meta+D
in the default column), Minimize (Meta+PgDown), Restore
(Meta+Backspace) and the window menu (Alt+F3). FiwNode’s four
recorded global actions are unassigned. Meta+1/2/3 are used for
desktops, with the corresponding task-manager shortcuts disabled.
