Confirmed. This is in the wrong component though, it has nothing to do with kspread. The "global alternate" shortcuts are unconditionally disabled in KShortcutsEditor in kdelibs by this line of code:
    ui.list->header()->hideSection(GlobalAlternate);  //not expected to be very useful

This strikes me as both a bad idea and a regression compared with KDE 4. Could that column please be enabled when editing global shortcuts _only_ (i.e. for kcm_keys)?

Another use case has been given on the fedora-devel-list (by a GNOME user requesting the same feature in GNOME, but that doesn't make the use case any less valid):
