    <thetext>konsole --list-profile-properties shows the below (snipped for brevity)
Path : QString
Name : QString
UntranslatedName : QString
Icon : QString
Command : QString
Arguments : QStringList
SemanticHints : int
SemanticUpDown : bool

Most users aren&apos;t aware of what a QSTringList is, or an int/bool

This being user facing should be translated into non-jargon.

int &gt; number
bool &gt; true/false
etc</thetext>

    <thetext>I agree although I think these are not really meant for casual end users.  I would be curious who even uses them on a regular basis.</thetext>

    <thetext>(In reply to Kurt Hindenburg from comment #1)
&gt; I agree although I think these are not really meant for casual end users.  I
&gt; would be curious who even uses them on a regular basis.

I think help in any user-facing section should be written in user-focussed terms. If it is on develop.kde.org or api.kde.org that is a different matter.</thetext>

    <thetext>Hi, I can make a patch for this. 
Would sorting the output of konsole --list-profile-properties make sense too?</thetext>
