I could use a shortcut already used above, for launching say yakuake. The user could still change these shortcuts from the GUI. So making absolutely unique shortcuts is difficult. I just took care that the shortcuts did not match any previous Global Shortcuts or even the ones used before.

Did you check the KDE Human Interface Guidelines here as well? -> https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Keyboard_Shortcuts

I am still a bit puzzled that you use Shift+Ctrl+E to export a playlist (when Ctrl+E triggers Track editing) and then Shift+E to show the Equalizer, doesn't seem that logical to me...
With logical I mean that the same shortcuts in variation should be useds to enable and disable the same things, so if the letter E is used for an Edit function, it should not be used for something totally different in another combination. If the shortcuts are not logical I am not sure those are really useful. A combination with S to show something might be a good path to explore.

On the other hand our existing shortcuts don't seem to be very logical either *sigh*.

About different people having different systems: we don't cater for other desktop systems, for us what is relevant is what is in use in KDE and Amarok. Currenlty GNOME for example uses different shortcuts already, so we really can't take this into consideration anyway. If our shortcuts conflict with other people's private selections, it is again not something we should care, as they can change their setting quite easily.
