It's true that old shortcuts don't migrate, and khotkeys is abandoned, but even
creating a new shortcut on a fresh install with Plasma 6, it doesn't appear to
be possible to import custom shortcuts created in Plasma 6 on a different
machine.  So, this is not just an 'old shortcuts'. I recreated everything in
Plasma 6, then went to migrate another machine to Fedora 40 and couldn't import
without the desktop file hack below.
