ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 kevin 2022-07-11 22:59:13 UTC

I suppose this could be listed under the fonts category also. Currently, no way to save font size changes.

Comment 2 kevin 2022-07-11 23:01:59 UTC

I would also like to change the amount of scrollback, so I can go back to the beginning.

Comment 3 Ahmad Samir 2022-07-12 12:06:11 UTC

If the profile you're trying to edit has "Read-only" in its name, then it can't be edited, you need to create a new profile.

Comment 4 kevin 2022-07-13 20:09:15 UTC

Creating a new profile does give me editing options. In older versions of Konsole the default profile was editable (not read only). Also, the root shell doesn't say it's read only but there are no editing options for that one either.

Comment 5 Ahmad Samir 2022-07-13 20:36:00 UTC

The default/built-in profile became read-only because otherwise it caused other issues.

The "Root Shell" profile is read-only because the .profile file is owned by root, so your user account has no write-access to it.
