SUMMARY There is a feature, presumably of konsole, that if the shift key is pressed, it displays small numbered box overlays on top of files and directories and additionally underlines those files. I seems that if I press "Shift + ." (which should produce a colon-symbol) on a DE-keyboard layout, a dolphin-window with the current path is opened. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a konsole tab 2. Press "Shift + ." (I want a colon-symbol to be printed) 3. Get a directory listing with "ls" 4. Press "Shift + ." again OBSERVED RESULT At 2. the symbol is correctly printed At 4. a directory listing is displayed so the "shift + ." triggers dolphin EXPECTED RESULT The symbol should be printed at 2. or 4. The surely useful dolphin-feature should be easyly deactivateable or the key-combo should be modifiable, which I failed to accomplish both. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Keyboard layout: DE
The setting that control the "url hints" is Edit current profile -> Advanced -> key combination to show url hints.
Thank you so much. Finally I have the name for this feature and can form a coherent google search. I already saw this config-page but managed to not connect the dots here. Maybe I should get into kde-development and propose an little help-icon that plays an animated gif on hover, as I already did a C++/QT5 project. To conclude this is a feature which works 100% correctly and this issue can be closed.
