Plasma: 5.12.4
KDE Framework: 5.44.0

Alright, I wasn't aware of it being a common one for cut too. Might be due to
my being used to it as Delete, from using Windows earlier.

But I'm farily certain that on earlier versions [of Plasma] (or at leas as
shipped in Kubuntu <17.04) there was no such ambiguity, i.e. shit+del was
*only* delete (as in bypass the bin).

It does pose a usability/UX problem imo. If you come to KDE expecting shift+del
to have a function [in Dolphin], having a fairly common shortcut give you an
error straight out of the box doesn't look good. And for an unexperienced user
it might not be that easy to solve.

Okay, so I tested a bit. In Kate and Libreoffice, shift+delete does work as Cut
(on text / cells), even though I've removed it from Cut in System Settings >
Shortcuts > Standard Shortcuts, and assigned only as Delete. So even when
reassigned to Delete, it still retains the Cut action while inside
applications. Not sure if relevant, just wanted to mention it.
