Description Jakob Truelsen 2007-12-13 14:59:43 UTC
Version:           1.9.2 (using KDE 3.97.1 (KDE 4.0 >= 20071206), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.23-gentoo-r3

One simply cannot use emacs inside konsole.
When trying to save (ctrl+s) the control flow thingi pups up
bug 1: ctrl+q does not remove it at promised
bug 2: Disabling controlflow in profile settings has no effects what so ever

When trying to undo (ctrl+_) the font size decreases
bug 3: This cannot be changed it the configure shortcuts dialog (I also think that the short cut should default to something else)

When trying to select (ctrl+space) a strange char is inserted, this can be fixed by removing this in the default (XFree4) keyboard bindings.

The home and end keys do not behave as expected (nothing happens), this might also be fixed by playing with the keyboard bindings.

In the 3.5 konsole emacs just worked, thus I would expect it to just work in 4.0 also

Yes, i agree. Since i need emacs (like many, i am sure) i have to use old version of konsole in new kde! That's pain. If emacs does not work in konsole, it would be very sad indeed... Can we expect it work when 4.0 is released?

Bugs (1) and (2) fixed by commit 748936.

Fixed in SVN revision #748984.  Shortcut for reducing text size changed to Ctrl+-.  This was discussed with David Faure back in October but not implemented until today.

Fixed in SVN revision #748987 ("Fix Ctrl+Space key combination with default keytab:  Fixed bug where unescaping the character sequences '\x0' or '\x00' from a .keytab entry failed because the result was '0', which was also the value used to mean that escaping the sequence failed.  Use a separate boolean variable to track whether the escaping succeeds or not instead.")

Home and end keys work as expected here.  They move the cursor to the start and end of the line respectively.

Do 'home' and 'end' work in the shell for you?
Comment 6 Robert Knight 2007-12-16 06:51:36 UTC
The main bugs highlighted in the report have been fixed.  The one outstanding problem (not relevant to this directly any more since the zoom out shortcut was changed) is that session specific menu items to not show up in the Configure Shortcuts dialog.  It would be best to open a new bug report for that. 
Comment 7 Jakob Truelsen 2007-12-16 12:46:40 UTC
Confirmed as fixed
Save, undo, home and end works..

If "Control flow" is enabled, a blue box will appear on save, pressing ctrl+Q still doesn't hide this, but atleast the box does not appear when "Control flow" is disabled
