--- Comment #4 from John Kizer <john.ki...@proton.me> ---
I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to get to the next step, but from
what I can tell so far, there's a problem in how the shortcut property of the
QKeySequence for an Alternate shortcut is converted to a string, at least when
writing to the katerc file. That ends up causing a space to always be inserted
after the semicolon.
This was causing the issue I was observing in my case, but it also affects
trying to set an Alternate shortcut in the first place - it looks like if
someone tries to set both a Primary and Alternate shortcut for the same thing
in that same dialog, it'll work during that session, but katerc will have a
space incorrectly inserted after the semicolon (like "Ctrl+F; Alt+Shift+R") -
so when Kate is restarted and it loads from katerc, it won't load the alternate
correctly.
I gave it a shot to try following the debugging instructions on the Community
website, and try to look at what the data looks like "inside" QKeySequence, but
I don't know if I'm doing the right thing at all there - but I can at least
confirm that in kactioncollection.cpp, the shortcut value for a "stolen"/empty
one in that process is "; ":

I'm just not sure where to go to investigate further - I'm trying out Qt
Creator but I think I'm in over my head because I can't figure out how to look
"inside" the QKeySequence referenced on line 688?
