konsole have hard coded keyboard shortcuts. This is a problem and rather surprising one considering KDE ability to tweak keyboard shortcuts. My problem is that I can't disable CTRL+ALT+U in konsole which triggers the ZModem Upload feature. I am using a non graphic emacs client inside console and I need CTRL+ALT+U to move between scoped elements. If konsole shortcuts were customisable with the Global keyboard shortcuts menu of KDE I would be able to avoid such conflicts. This is a wish and I understand there is quite an amount of work. Yet I think konsole would be much more integrated to KDE with such a feature. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.type ctrl+alt+u 2. 3. Actual Results: Tries to trigger the ZModem upload feature. Expected Results: The expected result was to use an emacs shortcut. Konsole has priority over my non graphical emacs client running inside konsole. I can't disable the Konsole shortcut. This is a problem.

The ZModemUpload shortcut is set at line 466 of the SessionController.cpp: action->setShortcut( QKeySequence(Qt::CTRL+Qt::ALT+Qt::Key_U) ); connect( action , SIGNAL(triggered()) , this , SLOT(zmodemUpload()) );

Sorry, but that is hardly the truth. Almost all actions provided by konsole have configurable shortcuts. > > My problem is that I can't disable CTRL+ALT+U in konsole which > triggers the ZModem Upload feature.

Open "Settings -> Configure Shortcuts", search for "zmodem", then change its shortcut to anything you like or just "None". > If konsole shortcuts were customisable with the Global keyboard > shortcuts menu of KDE I would be able to avoid such conflicts. The suspected problem has nothing to do with "global keyboard shortcuts". You have some strange and serious misunderstanding here. > GNU/Linux debian stable > konsole version 2.4.5 > Using KDE Development Platform 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5) OK, you are using a very old version. So maybe above statements from me does not apply in that old version, but the problem certainly does not exist in KDE SC 4.8 and above. Please upgrade. One suggestion: It is generally not a good idea to report bugs on bugs.kde.org when you use Debian Stable, because you know Debian Stable usually ship outdated versions of applications (someone jokes it as "Debian Stale"). That is good for stability from users' perspective, but very bad for reporting bugs from developers' perspective.
Dear Jekyll, Thanks for taking the time to reply to this bug report. Sorry for the incorrect assertions. Indeed I should have report this bug to debian and not to KDE. Or I should have tried a more recent version of KDE first. I am happy to know that konsole shortcuts are now customisable. Thanks again and sorry for the noise. Best regards,
