Description Alex Merry 2008-01-31 17:37:54 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

Rather than sending the character to the terminal program on the terminal, as you would expect, typing shift + tab causes the terminal to lose focus.  Any keyboard input after this is lost until focus is returned to the terminal (either by clicking or with tab).

It's not apparent what gains focus in this case (pressing a few random keys produced no effect).
Comment 1 Constantin Berzan 2008-07-25 11:25:41 UTC
The tab bar gains focus in this case. Pressing the arrow keys changes tabs (but only once, since it gives the focus to the terminal).
Comment 2 Kurt Hindenburg 2008-08-11 00:04:57 UTC
Confirmed on trunk.  Is this the desired result?  It seems strange that shift+tab only lasts for 1 tab change.   I don't see why Konsole needs another shortcut to change tabs.
Comment 3 Robert Knight 2008-08-11 02:28:04 UTC
I think this is something from Qt but I haven't looked into it closely.
Comment 4 Roland Leißa 2008-11-24 04:30:16 UTC
Same problem here. I find this bug very annoying as I use shift + tab quite often in Vim's command line.
Comment 5 Andreas Klöckner 2008-12-01 00:51:23 UTC
Me too. A fix would be much appreciated.
Comment 6 charly ghislain 2009-01-29 00:18:35 UTC
The shortcut can be changed from Shortcuts Settings but this has no effect
Comment 7 charly ghislain 2009-01-29 00:22:42 UTC

Sure. Bug is annoying as hell but is ignored close to 2 years now.

If anyone can try this patch, it appears to work in my quick testing.

This patch appears to work fine.  I'll commit it before the next release.

One thing I noticed if you split the  view, 'shift+tab' will change the split-views.

Perhaps I can try the patch in a un-official package of kde-base. I'll tell you.

Sorry, I couldn't try it yet.
I'm eager to return to konsole :) Thanks for the patch

Comment 19 Kurt Hindenburg 2009-12-05 18:56:21 UTC
For reference, if you the new and close tab buttons enabled, using SHIFT+Tab will still traverse the 3 widgets (new, close, terminal).
