I don't like that. Having a separate dialog for just a few buttons is
a waste and its cumbersome then to do changes - possibly going back and
forth between two dialogs.

Then fix the dialog :) Seriously the shortcut dialog currently undergoes
some changes as far as I can see, so it seems like the best time to fix
any problems in it that come up while doing the scheme-stuff.

I agree though that a save/cancel message on changing the scheme would
be good, however the cancel on the dialog should still undo any scheme
changes I did (i.e. changing from Default to foobar should be undone).

Hard to say for sure :) I first started kate, opened the dialog, created
a new scheme. Changed two shortcuts. Hit the "Save as scheme defaults"
thing, then tried the export. Then I changed back to default and back
again to foobar. As it was empty I cancelled, quit kate and went to
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/kate/ removed the two files I found there
DefaulXXX and foobarXXX and restarted kate. Then I had the combobox
empty and after opening it the second entry was "Default". Didn't try to
reproduce that yet.
