Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages KDE3 Konsole used to implement Scroll Lock; it seems KDE4 doesn't. If you press Scroll Lock, Konsole should stop updating the displayed text, as if the terminal is frozen. At the moment it doesn't do anything.
I can confirm this regression, also using KDE 4.1.3 from Ubuntu packages.
You can still use Ctrl + S/Ctrl + Q. Scroll lock itself can be a mess in X.org, for example, people sometimes use it for showing a keyboard layout (off = En/us layout, on = location specific layout, e.g. De/Fr/etc), so you cannot control scroll lock state at all. So, I believe we can safely close this bug.
Git commit 78dbf8f1c17cc2cbda150dbd027bb31b4f6031e2 by Jekyll Wu. Committed on 01/03/2012 at 17:30. Pushed by jekyllwu into branch 'master'. Remove the left-over & unused code for supporting "Scroll Lock" key It is decided to not reimplement this feature in KDE4 konsole: * It is non-trivial work to implement it correctly * It annoyed some users when it was available in KDE3 konsole * Not many users want this feature back This is a follow up of commit cee0ce539b23b76eac5a582540b22f70ba0a2f74 REVIEW:104156 M +0 -1 data/keyboard-layouts/default.keytab M +0 -1 data/keyboard-layouts/linux.keytab M +0 -1 data/keyboard-layouts/vt420pc.keytab M +0 -11 src/CMakeLists.txt M +0 -11 src/Emulation.h M +0 -4 src/KeyboardTranslator.cpp M +0 -2 src/KeyboardTranslator.h M +0 -11 src/Pty.cpp M +0 -11 src/Pty.h M +0 -1 src/Session.cpp M +0 -5 src/Vt102Emulation.cpp M +0 -3 src/Vt102Emulation.h D +0 -152 src/XKB.cpp M +0 -6 src/config-konsole.h.cmake http://commits.kde.org/konsole/78dbf8f1c17cc2cbda150dbd027bb31b4f6031e2
Please, return back Scroll Lock feature! It is expected by experienced users to work as in native console. Your arguments to close this bug are not fair: 1. Non-trivial work does not mean that it should not be done! Since future is endless there is 100% chance to find someone that will implement it. 2.-3. You don't know the stats between annoyed/wanting users and will never know, since 99% of them is silent. You can make configuration option for annoyed users.
Please, reopen this bug!
