This happens because Shift+Left and Shift+Right are the default keyboard shortcuts for switching tabs, so Konsole eats them itself.  Maybe they should be passed on to the terminal if there's only one tab?
Comment 4 Ahmad Samir 2020-12-12 16:13:18 UTC
You can change those actions (switching tabs) shortcuts to something else; having a shortcut that does something when it's multiple tabs and something else when it's just one tab woul confusing... :)
