SUMMARY Add keyboard shortcuts to adjust transparency. Sometimes it's very usable to increase transparency of the terminal and view other window content through it and type into terminal in place, when reading documentation for example
Hi - just to check, does the existing ability to set keyboard shortcuts that change profiles cover the use case that you're looking for here, since multiple profiles could then each be set to a desired transparency level?

Hi! Sounds like technically it could cover such feature, but it will be very ugly crutch) I switched from gnome just a week ago and now adapting to kde. In gnome I used the ddterm extension and it has such shortcuts, and I just changed transparency with Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down when it was needed. To check browser content, or even to watch full screen video behind transparent terminal. If such feature will no be planned, so, then thank you for the idea with profiles)
Ah, I wonder if what you're looking for is handled more at the window manager level, then - ex. if you check in the Plasma System Settings application, and go to Keyboard > Shortcuts > KWin, you can set shortcuts for "Decrease Opacity of Active Window by 5%", and a corresponding "Increase..." option. If you set shortcuts for that and then use them with Yakuake open and focused, does that help cover the use case you have?

But it will also change transparency of text, not only terminal background
Ah, yes I see what you mean there
