Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux I do a lot of mudding, and would like to be able to bind the number pad keys to cardinal directions. On every other terminal emulator, my keybindings work. Konsole doesn't. I've done a lot of googling looking for a way around this, but there doesn't seem to be one that I can find.
Please do not use hyperbole in bug report titles. It is offensive and unnecessary. Regarding the report itself - the numpad arrow keys work as expected for me in Konsole from KDE 3 but not under KDE 4, with numlock off they behave like the standard arrow keys. The report says you are using KDE 3.5.9 - are you using Konsole from KDE 3 or KDE 4?
Konsole's handling of numpad keys is broken. This is actually a bug, not a wishlist item. Yes, with numlock off the numpad keys behave like the standard arrows keys. That is the problem. They should send a different sequence than the standard arrow keys so that a program running in the terminal can distinguish between them. Try running rxvt and looking at what it sends for keypad-up vs. up. Rxvt handles this properly and konsole should behave similarly. I don't know about the original reporter (although the obvious answer is KDE 3 like he said), but I am using konsole from KDE 3. Compiled from source. This is not specific to the original reporter, it's just the way konsole handles the numpad. And it's wrong.
