Version: (using KDE 4.0.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages steps to reproduce: 1.) start kate, start integrated konsole 2.) klick on the konsole window, press CTRL+s 3.) press CTRL+q to resume kate will shutdown.
ctrl+s is save document ctrl+q is quit the application where is the bug?
the issue is not really about kate itself, but the _integrated_ konsole thingy. you do CTRL+S, CTRL+Q in there. well, as i see it, there is currently no way of getting the integrated konsole back to work except by shutting down kate and restarting.
This is a problem that is built into KDE, since the default application shortcut for 'quit' will override the internal [bash] shortcut. I'm not sure we can do anything about it.
i see. would that happen for any other application that embeds konsole, too? -- right now i can't seem to think of any... in that case, i'd consider it worth filing a bug on the konsole wishlist for changing their CTRL+Q keycode for reviving. i also noticed that konsole uses quite nonstandard shortcuts overall, such as CTRL+ _SHIFT_ +Q for quitting. hm..
and by the way: when you edit your file in kate, without saving it, and you do CTRL+S in the activeted konsole then, kate won't save it. i mean, the same thing should really happen for CTRL+Q. is that really an architectural issue then?

I'm not sure > we can do anything about it. don't quite understand. i played around and found the following shortcuts to do what they want to do even with actived konsole: CTRL +Q, +L, +W, +N, +O, ... _not_ working, or doing something else are: CTRL +S, +F, +R, ... what do you think, is that inconsistent or intended or both? well i, as a user, would have expected _none_ of the shortcuts to work when being in the konsole window. as was pointed out before, some shortcuts apparently get globally overwritten...
Fixed in Kate 3.1.0 (KDE 4.1.0).
