Modifier only shortcuts need to be implemented properly

Are there any plans to fix the mess that is modifier only shortcuts on Plasma 6?

Sometimes it happens accidentally, sometimes people want to actually configure their desktops to make them function like tiling window managers, and it ends up being needlessly complicated or not working at all.

It can’t be that the only solution to reverting back to a working system is to tell people to run some commands that might not work. Or what I have done historically, remove my kwinrc file and start again.

Plasma needs to properly support setting a single modifier like super for an action without hacking around, needing to set up Alt+F1 for whatever reason I still don’t understand.

Considering Plasma 6 is a major API breaking update would it not be appropriate for it to happen now?
