Description Justin Zobel 2025-06-02 06:16:09 UTC

konsole --list-profile-properties shows the below (snipped for brevity)
Path : QString
Name : QString
UntranslatedName : QString
Icon : QString
Command : QString
Arguments : QStringList
SemanticHints : int
SemanticUpDown : bool

Most users aren't aware of what a QSTringList is, or an int/bool

This being user facing should be translated into non-jargon.

int > number
bool > true/false
etc

I agree although I think these are not really meant for casual end users.  I would be curious who even uses them on a regular basis.

I think help in any user-facing section should be written in user-focussed terms. If it is on develop.kde.org or api.kde.org that is a different matter.

Hi, I can make a patch for this. 
Would sorting the output of konsole --list-profile-properties make sense too?
