I think I solved it by editing the lines below in ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc - I'm really confused why there are two sets of shortcuts (one for window tiling and second one in KWin and why the ones in Window Tiling don't work but those in KWin do work)

based on the shortcuts shared in another issue

Hey, where'd you find the Bismuth shortcuts? I can't find them.

[alext30Developer]

Nevermind. I found them in Shortcuts -> Window Tiling. They work fine for me.

I experienced the exact same issue. The kwin "Bismuth:" shortcuts started being preferred, but the "Window Tiling" shortcuts did not. And I know the "Window Tiling" used to work because I had mine all very customized. Rather than your workaround, however, I just ditched the old 2.3.0 version from ubuntu and installed the latest from the Volian repo (https://volian.org/bismuth/). Now everything works beautifully.
