As mentioned by Adam, my code suggestion to fix the issue comes exactly from 
those widgets.

I don't think single-key shortcut (well except for F1/F12) should be used in a 
text editing application. But you forget one thing, karbon and krita are 
mostly not about editing text, it is something that happen by accident, once 
in a while (a bit more in Karbon than in Krita, but still not much more). In 
other word, those shortcut would be available between 95% (in karbon) and 
99.9% (in krita) of the time.

Anyway since there is nothing that would prevent the user to assign single key 
shortcuts themself, I think it is important for us to fix that issue. So lets 
focus on finding the best solution.
