Is in trunk afaik (i.e. also in 4.4 betas), but imo those shortcuts really 
should not overwrite too many of Kate's shortcuts. I bet many users are 
accustomed to Kate shortcuts (and don't bother to change them). Hence 
overwriting them in KDevelop doubles the required learning effort. And new 
users will have to learn some shortcuts anyways, so if possible pick some that 
are not already taken...
