looking at kglobalaccl sources, this:
> KGlobalAccel::self()->setShortcut(killWindowAction, { });
should cause this
> auto shortcutList = KGlobalAccel::self()->shortcut(killWindowAction);
to be "{}" ?
Instead query bool KGlobalAccel::isComponentActive("kwin"), cause otherwise the proper shortcut is "none" anyway ;-)
