...and this is why the spirit of KDE is usually to allow these things to be customised whenever practicable. :)

Oh, great, another obscure configuration option to clutter the control center. :)

I'd like the underline to appear when I press <ctrl><alt> 1 + f
Can I have that configuration option too please?

Alt is needed anyway for activating the accelerators, so that key is not chosen randomly.
Ridiculing this part of the proposal is not very constructive IMO.

True, key is not chosen randomly. But for me, working 'faster'
is more important than 'having a _more_ clean look/feeling'.

First, an additional underlined letter is not excessively
distracting.

Secondly, I find it easier to perform:
look (eye) + alt (finger) + key (finger)

because fingers are used together in a quick successive way,
rather than:
alt (finger) + look (eye) + key (finger)

where I need to mentally "switch" from finger to eye, and to
finger again.

Maybe we could introduce a configuration option to say if these configuration options are available? ;-)
