SUMMARY The Super key is escaped as "^X@s". I know that this was implemented as a feature for Emacs in Bug 96282. But I believe it should be able to turn off. This sequence is confusing, for example in https://superuser.com/questions/1238236/ , pressing Super+a makes bash to have a completion of hosts. This should be an option in the "Compatibility" tab. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run `cat` in konsole 2. Press Super+a 3. OBSERVED RESULT It shows "^X@sa", which is a sequence of Ctrl+x, @, s, and a. The Super key is escaped as "^X@s". EXPECTED RESULT There should be an option to turn off this escaping. If the Super can't be passed to the shell, just ignore it. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Neither GNOME terminal or XFCE4 terminal is generating such escaping sequence.
I can reproduce the behavior in a Konsole window using a keyboard combination that isn't used for a shortcut (Super + a) ❯ cat ^X@si This seems like unintentional fallout which is causing undesirable behavior, so a workaround / fix seems reasonable.
