Description Andrew Kohlsmith 2011-11-06 21:53:56 UTC 
Version:           2.7.2 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

This is a feature that I use extensively on iTerm2 for OSX. Sometimes I watch a movie but want to hang out on IRC; I play the movie then enable transparency. When I'm done I turn transparency back off because transparency doesn't work so well when applied to other cases. With iTerm2 it's simple, Apple-U. I would like the ability to do the same in konsole, instead of futzing around with a half dozen mouse clicks and movements.

Add toggle opacity shorcut

Looking for old bugs to squash. This looked quite old, but since it's confirmed I'd like propose a patch.

It add the toggle opacity shortcut. As intended the change is not persisted.

Comments welcome.

Thanks - sorry for the late reply.

The only issue I see ATM is that if the color scheme has opacity set (like 70% background transparency in Color Scheme); the first time you hit this shortcut, it appears to turn the opacity to 100%.  

Also, if you can try to use reviewboard.kde.org as it makes handling patches easier.
