I was previously told on this list http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2016-April/025595.html
that this bug is a KDE issue, not Qt. So I moved it to KDE list. A dev @ KDE then said it is NOT a KDE issue, but IS a Qt bug This is https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48795 Qt5 builds it's internal events as combination of (synthetic) keys and HW modifiers. That is *clearly* a fucking bug in Qt: either it ignores synthetic events (a regression compared to Qt4) or not, but just creating random events out of different sources should certainly not be intended. Another KDE dev agreed, and opened this issue https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/156451/ Since then, after some daily pkg updates, I saw an improvement in the behavior of shortcuts. I'm not going to chase the bouncing "it's not us" ball anymore. in case anyone's interested, I'm posting what I see here. Here's a test showing that currently using shortcuts is still not 100%.
