Would be sad to see khotkeys go without any replacement, I'm not having a
truckload of shortcuts configured there but there are a few and so far I
haven't seen any replacement.
In particular I'm using it to start my preferred browser and to control my
preferred mp3 player. The latter is a cli-tool so it has no global
shortcuts support but it has invocations which talk to the running instance
and can do play, pause etc.
That part of khotkeys has been working for me from KDE 4.2 up until now
(4.11 here), so no idea why it is considered to be 'broken'.
