SUMMARY Hi, I think ALT + F should not be used for search function. ALT + F should mean moving the cursor forward a string, CTRL+SHIFT+F should be the search function Now CTRL+SHIFT+F and ALT + F are both search functions.
https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/shortcuts-command-line-navigation#:~:text=Alt%2BF%20moves%20one%20word,B%20moves%20one%20word%20back. Alt+F moves one word forward, and Alt+B moves one word back.
Fwiw Alt+F is not explicitly assigned to search in konsole. It opens search because Alt allows access to window menu bars / tool bars, which contains Find (F), and File (also F). A workaround is to disable the window menu bar, and the session tool bar. Given that using Alt to access menu bars and tool bars is pretty standard nowadays, I am marking this as intentional.
