> If someone has changed the shortcut, they should know what shortcut they set it to, right? So having the tooltip just say "To kill a specific window, press the "Kill Window" shortcut (Ctrl-Alt-Esc by default)" should do the trick, right?

In principle, I agree with you here. :) But...

I have these premises in mind:

1. There might be a situation where the user can't remember what he has done.
2. I prefer precise over approximate information if it is reasonable easy to get (by fixing this https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/122981/ it is now easily possible and the patch is already written)
3. Somewhere I read that tooltips are to be avoided where possible => this patch factors some information out of a tooltip which in itself is desirable.
4. For the user, the discoverability of the feature after applying this patch is better than before (though not perfect, sure).
