Description Matthias 2018-09-05 11:11:33 UTC

In Dolphin, F4 opens a Terminal. I think its suitable to have this in Kate so as well. Also consider to preactivate the plugin by default.

Comment 1 Dominik Haumann 2018-09-05 20:31:05 UTC

I think this is a good idea!
Can we assign shortcuts to toggle toolviews of plugins by default?

Comment 2 Matthias 2018-09-06 08:46:51 UTC

How is it different from other shortcuts?

As an additional suggestion, can we enable the Terminal plugin by default. 

Any counterarguments?

Comment 3 Dominik Haumann 2018-09-06 09:37:22 UTC

It is different in the sense of that the toolviews shortcuts are created on the fly without having an entry in the UI.rc XML file. ;)

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2018-09-06 16:46:29 UTC

+1 for enabling the plugin by default.

Comment 5 Matthias 2018-09-07 17:58:42 UTC

Then also think about another keybinding for Ctrl+Shift+V?

Comment 6 Matthias 2018-09-29 07:53:41 UTC

Hi there

Is there any news?

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2019-02-24 21:20:35 UTC

This is effectively fixed now that the Focus Terminal shortcut is F4, which opens the terminal if it's closed. Also, the plugin is indeed on by default now.
