As the maintainer of both klipper and kglobalaccel I'm strictly against ading 
this shortcut by default! This was already stated by me in the bug report by 
setting it to wontfix.

At the moment this would result in a hidden default shortcut no user knows 
about. This is bad, we should not add unexepected and unknown shortcuts. And we 
should not needlessly steal shortcuts from applications. In doubt don't set a 
shortcut by default. At the current time this would only result in a degrated 
user experience: either an in-application shortcut, which we don't know that it 
existed, started to break, or the user presses the shortcut and gets hit by 
surprise what happens. It's totally unexpected behavior to open this menu.

Before we start to add new shortcuts, we need to rethink and implement better 
ways of global shortcut handling:
1. educating users about shortcuts
2. ensuring that we don't steal shortcuts (e.g. by setting up a policy about 
which modifier belongs to the DE)

As long as these problems are not solved, I'm strictly against adding shortcuts 
for hidden functionality. No matter how much we personally think they are 
sensible.
