Description Thierry Vignaud 2007-01-25 17:26:54 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
Compiler:          gcc-4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

konsole doesn't support Control-s (& Control-q) to block (& restart) the output of programs running on the terminal unlike all other terminal emulators (linux text & fb console, xterm, rxvt, ...).

How to reproduce:
- run "find /"; it'll display lines of file paths
- press c-s; it should freeze find but doesn't with konsole

Flow control can be turned off or on in Konsole.  It is off by default.

Go to Settings -> Configure Konsole and there is an option on the first tab to enable flow control.
Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2007-01-26 12:05:48 UTC 
should it be enabled by default for better conformance with other terminals?
Comment 3 Robert Knight 2007-01-26 12:58:52 UTC 
In KDE 3 it is disabled by default because it was confusing some new users, at the cost of possibly surprising more experienced users.

In KDE 4 I think I have found a better solution.  Flow control is always enabled, but when pressing Ctrl+S, a banner appears at the top of the Konsole window explaining what has happened, what you pressed to make it happen, and what key sequence to use to resume output.

OK. I guess we can close this BR then?
Comment 5 Robert Knight 2007-02-10 04:07:17 UTC 
Fixed now.
