Description Alkis Georgopoulos 2023-03-13 05:59:59 UTC
SUMMARY
Ctrl-Alt-T doesn't launch konsole by default. One needs to go to `System Settings > Shortcuts > Add Application > Konsole` to enable it.

Please enable that by default, like e.g. Meta+E is enabled for Dolphin or Meta+. for the Emoji Selector. Otherwise, user supports and documentation in thousands of other products, suffers. We cannot instruct users to "open a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T, run that command, and tell us its output" if we have to fill two pages first with "how to open a terminal in a hundred different desktop environments that the user might have"; and that's without getting into the different translations of the UI.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Launch the latest KDE Neon or any other distribution
2. Press Ctrl-Alt-T

OBSERVED RESULT
Konsole doesn't open.

EXPECTED RESULT
Konsole should open.

I have it on Wayland Arch. I see it in System Settings > Shortcuts under Applications > Konsole.
I do not recall doing anything special to set that.
I have installed plasma-meta and kde-applications-meta.

How are you testing? If not on bare-metal, is your VM intercepting that keychord.

Created a new user via System Settings. Logged in as new user. Ctrl-alt-t did not launch konsole. Konsole was not listed as an application in System Settings > Shortcuts. Manually added konsole as an application. Ctrl-alt-t was pre-filled as the shortcut to launch the application and it appeared to work.
