It's actually possible, but the UI doesn't support it. This just needs to be
fixed. There are other contexts where you want 2 global shortcuts as well,
like multimedia actions (multimedia key and plain key combo). It's also a
regression from KDE 3 which allowed this just fine. There's a bug filed for
that at bugs.kde.org, but sadly upstream doesn't care. :-( I may end up just
patching the Fedora packages to add a "global alternate shortcut" entry to
those dialogs.

Because it has to be set in the preferences for the plasmoid.

This probably needs to be added to PowerDevil, similarly to how the
brightness keys are.

This key is sometimes handled in hardware, sometimes not, it's a big mess.
:-( I don't know what KDE component would be most appropriate to handle that
key.
