There's already one (probably not the only one):
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123038

IMHO it would be nice if F1 opened the module's documentation instead

file a bug against systemsettings for that.  We don't control what
applications point the shortcuts to, we just document what they do.
