Where can I change the keyboard shortcuts that open control panels in Kubuntu?

I recently installed Regolith Desktop to use alongside Kubuntu Desktop. I really like it, but unfortunately some KDE/Plasma settings are spilling over into Regolith.

One thing that is bothering me is the meta-s keyboard shortcut. In i3, it is supposed to turn window stacking on and off. However, for me it brings up the sound control panel. I assume this shortcut to the sound control panel is coming from some Plasma/KDE setting, however I cannot figure out which (so as to disable it).

I have looked in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc as well as Settings > Shortcuts, but I do not see it listed anywhere.

I am having the same issue with meta-w, which for me opens the WiFi control panel. I am guessing that both of these settings are in the same place, wherever that is. Can anyone point me towards where these particular shortcuts are set.

Edit: Further information in response to the suggestions.

My shortcuts settings do not match the KDE documentation linked to, for example I have nothing called "Global shortcuts". Within this area, the meta-s and meta-w shortcuts do not appear.
Now that I am back using KDE, I just tried the meta-s and meta-w keyboard combinations and they don't work. So maybe it is actually a Regolith issue? I had assumed it was related to KDE as it was a KDE control panel that the shortcut activated.

Solution: Oh, well silly me. It's just that Regolith has it's own system of keybindings. https://www.reddit.com/r/regolithlinux/comments/l0kx3f/stacked_and_tabbed_layouts/

Thanks, but these seem to be referring to the shortcuts panel of System Settings, and the ones I am trying to change are not there (neither in Shortcuts or Custom Shortcuts). I couldn't find anything in my settings called "global shortcuts" though. I thought that is what `~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc` was.

Since Ask Ubuntu is a questions-answers site, can you please move the solution from the answer and post it as a separate answer?

I don't have Regolith or Kubuntu, so I cannot try. But this might help.

To check/modify current Global Shortcuts, a few options are available.

Use the Custom Shortcuts System Settings module.
Type “shortcuts” in the app launcher, and then go to “global shortcuts”.
Check ~/.config/khotkeysrc for further shortcuts.
Test which files change when adding new shortcuts. You could use command find ... -mtime .... You could do this within your home dir, or globally.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
