What is a KKSRC file?
A KKSRC file is a settings file used by KDE Plasma, a graphical workspace environment often used with Linux. It contains a plain text list of keyboard shortcuts, which associate keyboard key(s) with certain functions. Users can export and import KKSRC files from KDE Plasma System Settings.
More Information
KDE Plasma is a graphical workspace environment available for various platforms. Most often, KDE Plasma is used as a desktop GUI for Linux systems.
Plasma stores Global and Custom Keyboard Shortcut settings in KKSRC files. These files specify key combinations you can press to perform various functions. For example, a KKSRC file might contain the setting Walk Through Windows=Alt+Tab. This means that, if that KKSRC file is a user's currently applied shortcut file, they can press + to switch between application windows.
By default, Plasma stores Global Shortcuts in the following directory:
~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc
And it stores Custom Shortcuts in the following directory:
~/.config/khotkeysrc
