Description Nico Schlömer 2008-03-10 19:12:41 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

a konsole-kate interoperability bug, stated before at bug #158693:

steps to reproduce:

1.) start kate, start integrated konsole
2.) click on the konsole window, press ctrl+s
3.) press ctrl+q to resume

kate will shutdown.

it is suggested to look into konsole shurtcut keys here...

This seems to have changed after the update to Qt 4.4

With the terminal active, Ctrl+S saves the document in Kate while Ctrl+Q quits the application.

well, uhm, okay. -- i would sort of 'naturally' expect to get the konsole shortcuts with activated konsole (such as CTRL+s for suspend), but that's more of a wishlist item i guess.

if the embedding application generally takes precedence in keyboard shortcuts over the embedded application, i guess we don't have a problem anymore. or is there any other way to make the embedded konsole suspend now?

Should be fixed now.  Any shortcuts which can be used by terminal applications (eg. anything of the form Ctrl/Shift + [Letter]) are now overridden by Konsole and sent to the terminal application when it has the focus.

When Konsole doesn't have the focus the shortcuts are sent to Kate.  For shortcuts where there isn't a possible conflict, eg. those which have two or more modifiers, Kate will receive them as normal.
