Version: 2.1 (using 4.00.83 (KDE 4.0.83 (KDE 4.1 Beta2), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-19-generic How to reproduce: - launch konsole - press up key to see last command typed and nothing happens - this way it's impossible to check if down key works Other arrows work correctly, up and down don't do nothing in every situation in konsole. I almost forgot to say that in other apps even in kde4 ones those keys are working fine.
When the shell opens, run "cat" and press the up/down keys. Please let me know what is printed to the terminal. You should see ^[[A and ^]]B
no, nothing is shown. Directly in the shell (tty2) it works as you said
Hi Dario, Go to Settings -> Edit Current Profile -> Input tab and check that "Default (XFree 4)" is selected. When it is selected, click Edit. In the dialog that appears the list should be populated with a list of mappings from keys to character sequences, click on the Input edit box and press the Up/Down arrow keys. You should see "\E[A" and "\E[B" appear in the output box.
no, nothing. works well for left-right
Are there entries in the dialog's table for "Down-Shift..." and "Up-Shift..."?
If not, check the key bindings files on which they are based, which will be in $YOUR_KDE_DIR/share/apps/konsole/default.keytab and $KDEHOME/share/apps/konsole/*.keytab (replace $KDEHOME with ~/.kde if not set) If the Up/Down entries are missing from there then I suggest removing the .keytab files and the ones from your source checkout (in kdebase/apps/konsole/data/keyboard-layouts), updating from SVN again (svn up) and then reinstalling konsole.
Created attachment 25598 [details] screenshot it seems that they are set
Created attachment 25599 [details] $KDEDIR/share/apps/konsole/default.keytab even here those seem to be set
1. What happens when you press Up/Down with the shift key pressed in the input test area? 2. Do the Up/Down keys produce any results in the other key bindings (eg. Linux console, Solaris console)? 3. Do the Up/Down keys work to navigate the list views in the settings dialog (eg. the key bindings list or the color scheme list on the Appearance tab) 4. If you add new mappings for "Up-Shift" and "Down-Shift" in the key binding editor (eg. Up-Shift mapped to "test-up" and "Down-Shift" mapped to "test-down") do they appear in the input test area?
1. input field Up+Shift-AppScreen Down+Shift-AppScreen output ScrollLineUp ScrollLineDown 2. no, nothing 3. they work to navigate the GUI 4. i'm sure to have understood. anyway if i add a new entry, type Up-shift and the other field test-up, pressing Shift-Up prints what i've written before. Obviously Shift-up in the konsole prompt scrolls lines up not last commands
I found that the bug affects even input fields (like the one i'm writing in with konqueror) and kwrite, too. Probably the issue is related to kdelibs then, but this odd bug is still here (after some svn updates).
Go to System Settings -> Regional & Language -> Keyboard Layout and check that the settings there do match your keyboard layout.
keyboard layout was disabled, then i enabled it and set to the right one. Nothing changed, still the same bug.
In the last update (KDE 4.0.85 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080703)) everything seems to be fine. I'll mark the bug as resolved.
