Package:           konsole
Version:           KDE 2.1.0 Beta 2
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Debian Packages
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

It would be nice if we could stick with the keyboard while using konsole. The only shortcut I know is shift-left/right to switch between sessions... there's no 'new session' hotkey no 'fullscreen toggle' hotkey no 'hide/show menu/taskbar/scrollbar' hotkey no 'send signal' hotkey no nothing... konsole should be the stuck-to-the-keyboard programmer's friend not it's enemy 8)
seriously: it's driving me mad that i have to push my mouse everytime i want to change something listed above.

Hotkeys should be user-definiable too (to workaround problems with other heavy hotkeyed applications like emacs or pine)

In KDE 2.2 there is a shortcut for 'new session' (Default: Ctrl-Alt-n)
an 'escape-to-menu' key shortcut would be useful nevertheless.

Comment 2 Stephan Binner 2001-08-26 13:31:36 UTC

Implemented shortcut (Default Ctrl+Alt+m) which activates the menubar.

Comment 3 Christoph Lange 2004-01-25 10:54:03 UTC

There ought to be a (configurable) hotkey to display the context menu. That would especially be useful when the menu bar is hidden. And after the main menu is displayed using the "show menu" or "activate menu" hotkey and the user selected a command, it should hide again.
