Description Radon Rosborough 2019-07-07 02:27:50 UTC 
SUMMARY
When I type shift+tab in Konsole, nothing happens. The terminal does not receive any key sequence (verify in Zsh by typing M-x describe-key-briefly and then shift+tab). This contradicts the default keyboard configuration, which says that Backtab+Ansi should generate the sequence I would expect, namely \E[Z. (I use this for cycling backwards through completion candidates in Zsh, as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/842370/3538165.)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole
2. Run Zsh
3. Type M-x describe-key-briefly and then shift+tab.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
I should at least see "undefined-key" from Zsh, indicating that a key sequence was sent to the terminal.

To make Shift+Tab work on 19.04, please remove Shift+Tab shortcut in Settings → Configure shortcuts (by default assigned to "Next View Container").
It is fixed on master.

Thanks, I can confirm that fixes the issue. It did not occur to me that there would be a place for customizing the behavior of the keyboard aside from Edit Current Profile > Keyboard. I now see that there are several different menu items for the settings; perhaps they could be unified to avoid confusion.
