[Bug] Custom "Move Window Up/Down/Left/Right" shortcuts are removed on plasmazones.service restart

[Nathorr]

Description

I have set custom shorcuts for "Move Window Up/Down/Left/Right" actions. When plasmazones.service is restarted, those custom shortcuts are removed. This issue was introduced after 3.3.0.

Shortcuts I have set are Meta+Alt+Up/Down/Left/Right.

Expected Behavior

Custom shortcuts should be kept after service restart.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set custom shortcut for Move Window Up/Down/Left/Right" actions.
2. Restart plasmazones.service
3. Try to move windows using custom shortcuts.

Thanks for the report and especially for the support report, it pointed straight at the cause.

Found and fixed. Your custom keys were set in System Settings, so they live only in KDE's own shortcut store (kglobalshortcutsrc). Starting with 3.3.0, the daemon's shutdown path released its shortcut registrations in a way that also deleted those on-disk records. Every plasmazones.service restart therefore wiped the customisations and the next start brought back the compiled defaults. Shortcuts changed inside the PlasmaZones settings app were not affected, which is why only your System Settings customisations kept disappearing.

The fix is in #855: shutdown now releases the key grabs without touching the persistent records, so customisations survive restarts. It comes with a regression test that fails against the old code.

One caveat: the bug deletes the customisation at shutdown, so anything already lost stays lost. After updating to a release with the fix you will need to re-add your Meta+Alt+Arrow keys one more time, and from then on they will stick.
