KCM
Product: systemsettings

This bug is part of an ongoing effort to rethink the options available in
System Settings. The end goal is to consolidate some obscure options to make
Plasma feel simpler to use and improve the user experience. I was advised to
make individual bug reports with my suggestions. More details with all the
suggestions and talking points can be seen in this shared document:

-----------------------
Custom Shortcuts is a complicated KCM only power-users are likely to use.
Plasma is aimed at people from all experience levels and having an advanced
page with such prominence in System Settings can make the experience for
beginners feel overwhelming. I propose making kcm_khotkeys a subpage of the
Shortcuts KCM (kcm_keys) accessible by clicking a button (or in a tab).
While hiding a KCM might seem like a bad move at first, doing so actually
improves UX by making System Settings feel simpler for all non-advanced users,
which are likely the majority of Plasma users. Advanced users won't have
trouble finding the Custom Shortcuts KCM if they need to. This will also remove
another subcategory in SySe, which is a goal Plasma developers are pursuing:
