  1. Works for me (in Kubuntu):

    System Settings -> Shortcuts and Gestures -> Custom Shortcuts -> right-click -> New -> Global Shortcut -> Command/URL -> type a name (i.e. "Terminal" or "Konsole") -> choose tab "Trigger" -> click on None -> press Ctrl+Shift+T -> choose tab "Action" -> enter "konsole" for Command/URL -> apply

    By default this combination (Ctrl + Shift + T) works in Ubuntu, but not in Kubuntu.

  2. In Plasma, the shorcut is disabled by default in example custom shorcuts:

    Have to create a custom global shortcut from the system settings for the kubuntu.

  4. Here's how I assigned a shortcut to open the terminal (Konsole) demonstrated:

    1. Right-click on the Kickoff Application Launcher icon (in the left bottom corner of Desktop scene)
    2. Hit on Edit Applications...
    3. Expand System
    4. Hit on Konsole (Terminal)
    5. In right-side click on Advanced Tab
    6. In Current Shortcut Key set a new shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+T)

    Try it.

  5. While adding a keyboard shortkut in the settings is the solution to your answer, I suggest a better solution than opening a new konsole every time:

    Install yakuake:

    sudo apt install yakuake

    It has a global keyboard shortcut that is conigured at first start and it keeps your session with multiple terminal windows open in the background all the time.
