Hmm, yeah, I'm not surprised, ActionProperties for shortcuts were only added for saving the user's changes.
Can you explain why you install a global file with shortcuts, rather than calling kaction->setShortcut? Just curious.

Unfortunately when doing so, it removed all ActionProperties from the global file. This way it is not possible to have global xmlui files containing ActionProperties.

This way user shortcut changes are preserved, even if the global file comes with different shortcuts, and global shortcuts are taken in account if they were not overwritten by the user. I suppose this was the intended behavior.
