Description Fisher 2022-04-08 19:00:49 UTC
SUMMARY
When I use Kate's terminal and tried to use some control codes (e.g. ^C, ^D), I noticed they didn't work. It turns out, to send control codes, I need to use the command key (⌘) instead (e.g. ⌘C, ⌘D). This is rather unintuitive, because on macOS, I'm used to pressing the actual control key to send control codes.

Furthermore, this means that I can't copy using the familiar shortcut ⌘C, I need to right click and click the copy button.

I suggest reverting this and sending control/command normally, without translation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kate on macOS
2. Try to send SIGTERM by pressing CTRL+C

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
^C is sent to the terminal

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: 11.6

Oops, I meant SIGINT. Anyway, it doesn't matter; the same behavior seems to happen for any control code.

I would assume this is rather an issue of Konsole itself.

Open Edit current profile -> Keyboard, make sure the "Default" keybindings schema is selected. (There was a recent change that set the macos bindings schema as the default on mac).

Thanks for the reply. I tried this, but none of the default profiles (Default XFree 4, Linux console, Solaris console, macOS) change the behavior to what I expect.
