keyboard bindings

When I use Alt-C inside a Konsole window to capitalise a word it pops up the Configure Konsole window instead of capitalising the word.  I have looked at the keyboard shortcuts and there is no shortcut configured for the "Configure Konsole" action (see attachment).  I tried configuring a shortcut and that makes no difference - my new shortcut triggers the "Configure Konsole" window but Alt-C still does it as well.

The output of the kinfo command is as follows:

Operating System: KDE neon 6.2
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.8.0-51-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz

does not happens on current master, so probably not hardwired.

Maybe it was hard wired in the 24.08.1 version that I have and has been fixed on master ?

Are there any config files that Konsole might be reading a key binding from ?
Comment 3 John Kizer 2025-03-28 04:21:58 UTC
Hi - I can't reproduce Alt-C launching the Configure Konsole window on version 24.12.3, either on Fedora KDE 41 or KDE Neon. Can you please confirm if you're still experiencing that with all updates applied?

Thanks!

I am using KDE Neon 6.2 (based on Ubuntu 22.04) for work and need to keep it at that version.  I will install a clean VM with KDE Neon based on Ubuntu 24.04 and report back if that also has the same problem.

I have installed a newer version of KDE Neon (based on Ubuntu 24.04) and it does not have the problem.  Konsole reports version 24.08.2.  (In reply to Glenn Coombs from comment #4)

I installed a newer version of KDE Neon based on Ubuntu 24.04 instead of 22.04 and the problem was not present in Konsole version 24.08.2.

Thanks for confirming - sounds like whatever issue must have existed at some point was addressed by the time 24.08.2 came around!
