Description Daniel Morris 2013-04-10 20:49:24 UTC

Sorry for the trivial nature of this bug, but when inadvertently pressing CTRL-s and causing Konsole to silence output, the much apprectiated hint to re-enable output is shown as CTRL+Q. The upper case Q causes the konsole instance to be terminated immediately! What is meant is CTRL+q. This has bitten me several times, but normally when using konsole to drive GNU screen on a remote machine, so screen saves the day.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. CTRL+s
2. read hint
3. CTRL+Q, see konsole vanish

We would use Ctrl+Shift+Q, if we meant to press it with Shift. See also how shortcuts are displayed in menus.

Well, I don't get it. Keyboard shortcut are always represented using upper case letters. That applies to not only konsole and other Qt/KDE applications, but also  almost every application I can recall. 

It is really not funny to try hard to distinguish "ctrl+v" and "Ctrl+V", or "Ctrl+s" and "Ctrl+S", etc. Maybe that is easy job for native English users ?

Ah. Thanks for pointing out the obvious explanation - I've never noticed that all shortcuts/hints were uppercase. Wish I'd posted nine days earlier, it might have been more funny and less embarassing ;-)
