Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.99) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 2.95.3 OS: Linux If I open a shell in the konsole window, the alt-key does not appear to work. In particular, under tcsh, if I hit alt-f or alt-b to move between words an "f" or a "b" is inserted into my command line instead of moving the cursor. If I run the same shell under xterm then it works fine, leading me to believe that konsole is somehow trapping and filtering the alt-key from events going through konsole. This works fine in previous versions of KDE (ie, 3.0 and earlier).
works fine here with bash & current CVS
Works here too, which distribution do you use?
Have you checked your ~/.Xmodmap (or other xmodmap conffiles)? I had the same problem when alt was bound to Meta_L in my .Xmodmap. After I removed the line (so that alt gets bound to its default) everything works fine. Every other app works just like before, only konsole noticed the difference. Is this a bug or is konsole doing the right thing? At least every other terminal I have used treat meta and alt the same.
No answer. Works for us. :-)
xmodmap does not appear to function in Konsole unless you run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap. I have mapped my "printer" key to BackSpace and although it works in other KDE Applications it does not work in Konsole, unless I run xmodmap .Xmodmap
