And if it can't be done everywhere due to conflicts (i.e. because [ctrl] + [a] and [ctrl] + [s] have existing meanings in GUI software), then should it be done at all?
  
  
  Kicker/Kickoff and the dolphin search aren't full-fledged launchers like KRunner, only search fields for Baloo.

If we absolutely must add alternative hidden power user CLI-inspired navigation shortcuts to KRunner (which I'm > not yet convinced on), let's just do it, and not wrap it in a whole bunch of user-visible configuration UI.
