Bug 410689

This was fixed in 68ea9bf6cc118118e824a661013b4f3438a7728e around Jun 26 so your version should have it.


I have Ctrl+Alt+arrow - have you changed the shortcut?

Hmm, this one works.

> have you changed the shortcut?

I don't remember doing so, AFAIK it's default hotkey.

Either way, when I go to "Setings → Configure Shortcuts", I see "Ctrl+Shift+Left" is set to "Focus Left Terminal". This works in Konsole from my distro repository (19.04.03), but it doesn't in the one built from master when I run it from the build directory.

The default shortcuts for moving tabs have been changed to Ctrl+Alt+qrrow in

"Focus Left Lerminal" only has effect if you split the view, it moves focus to the left view.
And that works fine here. (with konsole 19.07.90)

But apparently Ctrl+Shift+Right ("Focus Right Terminal") doesn't have any effect...

Oh, I see, so, on master behavior of the "Focus Left Terminal" have been changed from moving tabs to focusing splits. And to access prev. functional you have to use "Move tab to the left".

This makes sense. However I wonder if it would also be useful to rebind the default Ctrl+Shift+Left to "Move tab to the left"? This would retain the old behavior from user stand-point, while allowing them to access the new functional.

No, the behavior has not changed, only the default keyboard shortcuts.
I.e. Ctrl+Shift+Left was "Move tab to the left" before, and now is "Focus Left Terminal" (while the default shortcut for "Move tab to the left" is Ctrl+Alt+Left now).

I don't know why this has been changed though. Maybe it would have been better to keep Ctrl+Shift+Arrow for the "Move tab to..." actions and use Ctrl+Alt+Arrow for the new "Focus XXX terminal" actions, to not surprise users.

PS: If "Focus Left Terminal" did indeed move the tab in 19.04.3 (if it existed already), it was a bug I'd say...
I don't have a 19.04.3 at the moment to try though (only 4.x, which only has "Move Tab Left" bound to Ctrl+Shift+Left, and no "Focus Left Terminal" at all).

Ctrl Alt Left/Right seems to be the default now.

Yes, they are the default for Focus Left/Right Terminal now.

But they were the default for Move Tab Left/Right before, i.e. Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right did move tabs in older versions (up to 19.04.3), hence this "regression" report.

Personally I don't mind, so I won't reopen it myself though.

Erm sorry. I confused Alt with Shift....

Read this as:
Yes, Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right is the default for Move Tab Left/Right now (since 19.08).

But Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right was the default for Move Tab Left/Right before (upto 19.04.3), hence this "regression" report.

Well, in case anybody is interested in the OP's opinion: I think since this has been unresolved for me than a year, making another breaking change back will upset yet another part of the users, who already got used to the new behavior. Such bug is something that needs to be fixed as fast as possible, otherwise whichever change you'll do, someone is gonna be unhappy.

I personally have explicitly bound the older shortcuts.

Not a regression, this changed to focus different splits.
