CTRL + SHIFT + X, close split, done. no need to close your editor, no need to close konsole. Also, I'm rewriting the split tab functionality to be actually userfull, so beware, it will change even more. :) I am not saying Konsole should not have the split-view functionality but rather that it should not have a shortcut to it or if it does make it much more difficult to accidentally invoke it and S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E the user. Least surprise first thing you should have learned in university, if you have gotten into one. So, I don't understand what you mean by "userfull" but I get the feeling that you would be rising to the top had you worked for Microsoft. Thanks for the reply and keep on hammering that penguin to his "userfull" death. It's not that using Konsole is a requirement set in stone in my life. Plenty of other terminals around much less resource-hungry, albeit all substandard like Konsole. Something I will miss for Konsole is that it fixed the added newline at the end of copy-pasted text. And I gave my 5 cents for it. hint: go to an apple shop, find a mac test machine, fire up an iTerm, video your interaction with it, go home and watch and watch and watch and watch. bw bliako Hello, First and foremost, as I belive this is important: If iTerm was good then people wouldn't download iTerm2 because the first one is really broken. If Microsoft was relevant here I would be working in CommandPrompt where I cannot even resize, and not in konsole, now for actual important things. I belive that the splits in konsole are broken by design, simple as that, and I agree with you that they are annoying. I'm working to fix them and I plan to make them userfull, currently they are not. For the shortcut issue that you have: - You hit the shortcut once, you don't like it and then you do: - Open Settings, Change The shortcut to open the split view to none, - Discover the shortcut to close the split view or even close the split via the menu. Instead of that you lost much more time creating a three page bug report that was Rude, Disrespectfull, Time Consuming and Invalid. if you have said something in the lines of: "Hi devs, I'm having an issue with the current default shortcut for splitting the tabs in konsole, the default one Ctrl + Shift + ( is too is to hit while developing, do you think it's possible to change to somethign different, for instance Blah" Do you realize the difference?
