[README.KeyTab] The keytabs offered in the Options/Keyboard menu are taken from from configurations files with a *.keytab pattern either located in $TDEDIR/share/apps/konsole or ~/.trinity/share/apps/konsole. Keytabs allow to configure the behavior of konsole on keyboard events, especially for functions keys. Please have a look into the README.keyboard file, too. The syntax is that each entry has the form : "key" Keyname { ("+"|"-") Modename } ":" (String|Operation) Keynames are those defined in with the "TQt::Key_" prefix removed. Mode names are: - Shift : Shift Key pressed - Alt : Alt Key pressed - Control : Control Key pressed ( The VT100 emulation has modes that can affect the sequences emitted by certain keys. These modes are under control of the client program. - Newline : effects Return and Enter key. - Application : effects Up and Down key. - Ansi : effects Up and Down key (This is for VT52, really). Since sending a state to a program that has set the state itself is positivly wrong and obsolete design, better forget about this nasty detail. I may well remove this "feature" in a future clean up round. ) A "+" preceeding a Modename means the Key is pressed. A "-" preceeding a Modename means the Key is not pressed. If no mode is given it means don't care. Note that the combination of Key and Modes (set/reset) has to be unique. This means, that key A + Shift : "A" key A : "a" will not accept the small letter "a" rule as expected, one has to add a "- Shift" to the last clause. Use the stdout/stderr dianostics of konsole when modifying keytabs to find problems like this. Operations are - scrollUpLine : scroll up one line in the history log - scrollUpPage : scroll up one page in the history log - scrollDownLine : scroll down one line in the history log - scrollDownPage : scroll down one page in the history log - emitClipboard : "paste" the current clipboard - emitSelection : "paste" the current selection Strings have the syntax of C strings, one may use the following escapes: - \E - escape - \\ - backslash - \" - double quote - \t - tab - \r - return - \n - newline - \b - backspace - \xHH - where HH are two hex digits
