I recently upgraded KDE Plasma to v6, got ZSH instead of BASH in it and because I like some of its smart completion features and such, I decided to try to learn working with it. But I have a hard time getting used to it as a decades long BASH user. Maybe I'm searching wrong but I can't figure out how to configure some basic stuff that I find convenient in BASH. I'm having the following troubles: 1. ` (ALT+period) in BASH invokes the last word from the previous command. E.g., I do ls file.txt , then cat and I get cat file.txt`. The caret (cursor) is after the word inserted by the key combo. This doesn't work for me in ZSH. I can do !$ instead of ` but that's not too convenient. I also have working solution written by GPT but it throws me an error even tho it works. See my .zshrc` below. I have also found this question—[vi mode - How to use Alt + . in zsh with Vim bindings - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/685008/how-to-use-alt-in-zsh-with-vim-bindings)—where I learned I can use +_ but that's not exactly comfortable either for two reasons: Firstly, underscore is bound to +- on US and CZ keyboards which I use (so it's actually uncomfortable ++- combo which has the potential to change keyboard layout with +), and secondly, it produces the same error "No such shell function insert-last-word" as the binding I already have. I tried append-last-word instead which doesn't work at all. 1. ` and ` to jump to the start/end of the current line. I can do / to do the start/end jumps but that's not exactly convenient either. 1. I have there working binding to use +LEFT/WRITE_ARROW to jump by words. However, this doesn't seem to respect $WORDCHARS, e.g., if there's a path (includes /), it jumps over it as a whole. What may I be doing wrong? My $WORDCHARS:

$ echo $WORDCHARS 
*?_-.[]~=/&;!#$%^(){}

4. Edit: one more thing: I just installed a package (sudo pacman -S hdparm successfully. And right after that, when I try to invoke the command, I type hdpar, expecting to get the hdparm auto-completed. Nope, I get various completely random suggestions (cdparanoia gdparttopng), none of them being hdparm. When I type the command in full, though, it works, so that means it _is_ a valid command. Do I need to run some completion update? :o (sorry, confused and slightly disillusioned). I found that bindkey -e # Use emacs key bindings brings some things to life, such as `` for reverse search. But not all of them, see my biggest pains above. Here's the config I have in ~/.zshrc: (I'm posting it in its entirety but everything below line 52 is out of this question's scope, it works fine and is unrelated.) Please see the comments in the file for explanations of what doesn't work and how

Thank you very much for your time, help, and patience with a ZSH newbie. Any bonus useful tips and tricks appreciated as well :)

After updating to RHEL7 from RHEL6 my Konsole fonts are looking ugly and un-antialiased(Monospace size 11 in both systems). I played around with font antialiasing system settings but I am unable to make it identical to how it was before. Is there a way to restore the looks of font? i.e by copying some old font file or some settings from old system? Same issue is there for my Gvim.

Can I, through a trick or a module, make the Micro editor behave in a separate TTY as if I had started it directly from a console/terminal emulator in my desktop environment? - micro | a modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor **Setup**: Debian 12, Bash, KDE/Gnome ##### The core feature I'm searching for: I just want to mark text/ part of a text using the arrow keys + Shift. Is this possible, or is it fundamentally impossible because the Linux kernel console (e.g., tty1) does not support this? ##### Results I discovered: >The kernel console (TTY) does not support extended modifier sequences like Shift+arrow keys, which means it is not possible to select text using Shift+arrow keys in the Micro editor when running in the TTY. > >According to the official man page console_codes(4), the Linux console implements only a subset of the VT102 and ECMA-48/ISO 6429/ANSI X3.64 terminal controls. > >In particular, it lacks support for extended input sequences that are handled by modern terminal emulators like xterm. This means the console does not send escape sequences for combined keys such as Shift+arrow keys. - linux man page for console_codes - console_codes - Linux console escape and control sequences - bash: Shift+arrow keys make A,B,C,D - console_codes(4) — Linux manual page The loadkeys keymaps use tricks to assign different sequences to function keys (F1–F12) combined with modifiers like Alt or Ctrl. But that probably works because the kernel has explicit support for it but it looks like not for Shift+Arrow. - keymaps (5) From @Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' answer: - Detecting shift + keyup/down in the terminal >Terminals don't send key up events.

Support an alternate method, such as a “start multiple selection” key followed by plain Up/Down

I attempted to install Yakuake and Konsole using Flatpak due to issues with the default installation, which produced garbled output and occasional blank lines, resulting in inconsistency. After successfully installing both software packages via Flatpak, they function flawlessly, but there's a slight inconvenience related to settings. In the native installation, when I modified settings for one application, those changes were automatically applied to the other. However, this seamless synchronization doesn't occur with their Flatpak versions. I now need to manually configure the same settings for both applications, which adds a bit of extra effort. If anyone has insights or solutions for this situation, I'd greatly appreciate your input.

I would like to use so called bugrefs in Konsole . e.g. boo#1194208 would be evaluated into https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194208. Can I configure it somehow? Or do I need to implement it as a plugin ?

I've had Konsole installed on my Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon machine for about a year now and just about a week ago, the mouse cursor has been disappearing inside the window for whatever reason. You can only see it when you go to the title bar and click, and then if you perform literally any keystroke, it disappears once again. This is pretty annoying because I use nvim for programming and I need the mouse to copy text. Is there any obvious way to fix this that I am missing, or should I just go all in on the keyboard?

I was trying to open a new konsole terminal and source file after opening it. I tried the following command: konsole -T hello --noclose -e "source file" I wanted the terminal to remain open after sourcing the file but even with --noclose the new konsole closes. How can I keep the konsole remain open

I found out that the "beep" sound is only produced inside of the IntelliJ's (RubyMine to be more specific) terminal. All tput bel, echo ^G and echo $'\a' produces a normal annoying sound. On addition it is played as normal if i use backspace when line is empty, or for example an right arrow when i reach the end of the text. But when i run Konsole app (or Yakuake) it is completely mute. I have the **"Play sound"** option for **"Bell in Focused Session"** event checked, in my Konsole > Settings > Configure Notifications (pic rel). The play button, visible on the screen below, doesn't produce any sound neither. This produces a sound: This does not:

My aim is to use Konsole in the same way I use Terminator: Loading a specific layout with a set of split terminals and their geometry ***PLUS*** the profiles for these terminals and eventually a command that should be executed (for instance ssh -t remote "emacs foo.bar ; bash -l"). I am already aware that you can save a layout from the menu. Yet the layout does only include the geometry, not the profiles that were loaded when the layout was saved. Searching the internet hasn't brought up even a hint, besides the basic feature that layouts exist. I have sought here in the Stack Exchange network, on plain Google, on Reddit and in several KDE forums, including the official ones), to no avail. What I need is just to load a specific profile with the layout. Here is an example layout for a window split into 4 (the geometry is irrelevant):

-json
        {
        "Orientation": "Horizontal",
        "Widgets": [
            {
                "Orientation": "Vertical",
                "Widgets": [
                    {
                        "SessionRestoreId": 0
                    },
                    {
                        "SessionRestoreId": 0
                    }
                ]
            },
            {
                "SessionRestoreId": 0
            }
        ]
    }

Which elements can be used here and what are the possible values?

I'm using Arch Linux with KDE Plasma. The system's locale is English. Korean/Japanese fonts are installed. In Dolphin, files with korean/japanese names are shown correctly. But in Konsole, their names are displayed as espaped sequences like ''$'\355\205\214\354\212\244\355\212\270''.txt' In Konsole's profile, the default encoding was already set to UTF-8.

When hitting enter (or double-clicking) an executable shell script (a ".sh" file, for instance), it would be nice if this would launch the script inside a console window. I am using the Dolphin file manager, and KDE with Debian 11. While there are many ways to open, launch, and execute scripts, but nothing that does this one simple thing. When tapping enter on an executable shell script, the box below is displayed: * "Open" will incorrectly "open the script" using the console app *(result is that the console window opens, but nothing happens)* * "Execute" will correctly run the script *(result is that the script runs, but the console window never opens, and output is not shown unless it is redirected to a file)* When right-clicking an executable script, the following menu is shown: * "Open with Konsole" will incorrectly "open the script" using the console app *(result is that the console window opens, but nothing happens)* * **"Run in Konsole" is perfect!** ***(script is both opened AND run inside a new console window, and output is shown on-screen)*** The question is: **How can I achieve the "Run in Konsole" action using the Enter key on the keyboard?** *That's the real problem here: using the mouse to right-click and pick over and over is tiresome.* Apparently, this used to be possible in the Thunar file manager until recently (the feature was removed). Most other threads I have found on this topic all require the right-mouse-button: * https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/233864/461964 * https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/326114/461964 Any advice or guidance is appreciated.

Is it possible to do in KDE Konsole? If yes, how? If it's not possible in Konsole, are there any terminal emulators with this feature? I tried drag&dropping a tab from one window to another (as suggested by an answer in this post https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/607395/possible-to-join-attach-konsole-windows) , but tabs seems to be bonded to one window and can't be dragged out of it if there is only one tab, with two or more tabs dragged out tab just opens as a new window. "Run all Konsole windows as one process" turned on and all windows were reopened

If I select anything from the command line that includes the end of the line, when I paste it into a konsole window or tab that is ssh'd in to a remote machine, the carriage return is not pasted. It doesn't matter whether I use the mouse to do the copy-and-paste, or use keyboard shortcuts. If the destination tab is a local shell, then the carriage return is pasted. The result is that if it's a local tab that I paste a command into, it runs immediately, but if it's a remote tab then it just pastes the command plus a newline, but I still have to manually hit enter. 1. Copy a command line including the end of the line. 2. Paste this into a konsole tab or window (either the same, or a different local shell, or a shell that is ssh'd in to a remote system). 3. Expect the same behavior: the command runs immediately 4. If the destination tab or window is local, the command runs immediately as expected. 5. If the destination tab or window is logged into a remote system, the command does not run, but requires additional keyboard input to hit the enter key.

I'd like to choose whether or not to load zsh plugins if the shell is, at the moment, being run within Dolphin. Is this possible? I've considered: - ps: ps, at least without any flags, does not seem to offer useful information - xdotool: xdotool can search for a window named Dolphin, but I don't think that it reports on the current window - environment variables: there are some env vars set up for Konsole in general ($KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION, etc), but none for Dolphin

_2021 update:_ the unexpected behavior described below was actual in KDE Plasma v5.18.5, but isn't actual in 5.22.3 anymore. _2023 update:_ See also [this pull request in KDE's GitLab](https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/3324) for some details about default browser selection in Plasma 6 ([source](https://pointieststick.com/2023/11/17/this-week-in-kde-panel-intellihide-and-wayland-presentation-time/)) . ---- Linux has many ways of "marking" an application "as a default". You can check some of them using following commands: 1. xdg-settings get default-web-browser 2. ls -o /etc/alternatives/*browser* 3. ls -o /usr/bin/*browser* (some of these are symbolic links to the previous list item) 4. xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https 5. grep -E 'https|html' /etc/mailcap 6. If you're on KDE grep BrowserApplication ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals I'm having the exact same issue as in question [How do I change the default browser that konsole opens URLs with?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/62182) . I'm running KDE 5.13.5. I did following steps: 1. Uninstall Chromium 2. Make sure all items listed above point to Firefox. 3. Go to "System Settings > Applications > Default Applications > Web Browser" (aka $ kcmshell5 componentchooser) 4. Change setting 'Open **http** and **https** URLs' to "in an application based on the contents of the URL" 5. Click an https link in Konsole 6. Install Chromium 7. Click an https link in Konsole *Actual result*: after step 5, link is opened in Firefox; after step 7—in Chromium. *Expected result*: link is opened in Firefox both in step 5 and in step 7. So KDE decided, that this particular URL ([this one](https://www.linux-apps.com/content/show.php/Redshift+Control?content=170746)) is better suited (see step 4) for Chromium than for Firefox, despite my efforts to mark Firefox as the default browser in six different ways. If in step 4 I choose "in the following application > Firefox", then everything works as expected, but I want to have it set to "in an application based on the contents of the URL", because sometimes the URLs use schemes different from http and https, e.g. mailto URLs in Konsole need to be opened by the email application, without involvement of a browser. Which method of marking a browser as default did I miss? How do I convince KDE that this URL is better suited for Firefox, which I tried to mark as my default browser? P.S. [This Debian bugs mail list thread](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=800502) suggests that Konsole does the same as xdg-open , but for me clicking on URL in Konsole opens Chromium, while xdg-open opens Firefox.

In terminal emulators like GNOME terminal, I can hold the control key and use my mouse to select a block of text. Doing the same in Konsole has no effect -- the mouse simply selects one character after another, to the end of each line, wrapping around, as if I were using GNOME terminal and selecting text without holding the control key. How can I block select text in Konsole?

I have Linux Mint 18 Sarah KDE 64-bit and I'm trying to set up a shortcut key to open "Konsole", but I cannot find it on "shortcut options". Thanks you!

I am using KDE4. I'd like to create a keyboard shortcut that would run konsole with a predetermined setting: - window fully maximized - no menus, no tabs, no windows borders - stays below all windows - sticks on all desktops. All of this can be done by menus and clicks, but the idea is to run it with a keyboard shortcut, so I hope there are either konsole options for that, or some configuration I can store in a konsole profile that I could specify at the command line.

KDE Konsole does not have a feature to save the current session (opened tabs, current directory etc.) How can we save/restore the current session?
