 Modifying the global config file probably wouldn't work for khotkeys. It 
doesn't use distinct config keys for various settings but uses several 
similar config groups that are numbered, so altering the global file could 
break the configuration as seen by KConfig.

 Have a look at kdebase/khotkeys/data, there are two sets of khotkeys actions 
that are automatically added to the config file. You can use e.g. the 
konqueror_gestures_* ones as a template. Backup your local khotkeysrc file, 
clear all actions and add the ones you want. Then quit, use make the 
*.khotkeys file from khotkeysrc, and don't forget to add ImportId= in the 
[Main] section. You can also test importing it in the global settings in the 
UI.
