SUMMARY I have noticed that Konsole does not trigger selection mode when something like "less" or "git log"(using less), or "htop" are running maybe related to those programs using a alternative buffer? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. have konsole open 2. run "less" on any file (or any of the other mentioned programs) 3. try to trigger selection mode (via CTRL+SHIFT+D) 4. observe that selection mode is not triggered (in "less" it behaves like if PGDOWN was pressed) OBSERVED RESULT Selection Mode not triggered in alternative buffer mode EXPECTED RESULT Selection Mode to start SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.7-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX Vega Manufacturer: ASUS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION less 608 git version 2.39.1 zsh 5.9 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) for example "tmux" is able to trigger its selection mode in those programs PS: i opened it in component "general" because i was not sure which other component to use, i considered "history", "copy-paste" and "keyboard"
re-tested on konsole 23.08.3, and there it seems like going into selection mode while "less" (or "git log") is running just works like expected
