Hi guys

i was wondering if anyone knew how to assign custom keyboard shortcut to konsole profiles? (that is while konsole is running, open profile X in new tab via keyboard shortcut)

thx

Zeltak

As far as I can find, even in Trunk this is not possible. Please file a feature request at bugs.kde.org.

Note that as an interim substitute you can use the "Input Actions" ( now Custom Shortcuts in 4.5 ) to run a D-Bus command to create a new profile in a specified directory.

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.konsole /Konsole newSession <sessionname> <path>

Hi thx for reply

i will file a request as suggested. Btw what is a "session" in konsole? i can only see "profiles" ho do you create and save a session?

thx alot

Zeltak

A session is a tab. The above was supposed to read:

Code: Select all

qdbus org.kde.konsole /Konsole newSession <profile name> <path>

thx again for the answer

i did try to do as suggested but the d-bus command in khotkeys has 4 boxes with options: "remote application" , remote object, funtion and arguments.. i cant understand where to put the : qdbus org.kde.konsole /Konsole newSession <profile name> <path>
command. could you help me out a bit?

thx for the help its greatly appreciated

zeltak

As far as I know, remote application is "org.kde.konsole", remote object is "/Konsole", function is "newSession" and arguments are "<profile name> <path>".

hi again

so after a few years i guess i have the same issue still..is it possible to launch a specific konsole profile from the command line?

I don't know of such an option. I think what was mentioned earlier still applies tough, you can open a new tab via a dbus call and assign a global shortcut to that call. Not sure about which window that would open a tab in then, tough... ;p

Try running this command:

Code: Select all

konsole --profile Shell --new-tab

Yes, that is possible.

Open Konsole, go to "Settings --> Manager Profiles" and double click the "Shortcut" cell , then you can assign shorcut for that profile.

Note: the keyboard sequence widget does not detect confliction at the moment, so make sure the shortcut you select for the profile does not conflict with other shortcuts.
