Another mc user! =:^) FWIW, I believe it was kde 4.9 (or was it 4.8?) that introduced a fix to the mouse in konsole, so mc worked better with it in very tall or wide windows. That was a fix I was waiting for and got to appreciate rather sooner than most, as I hopped on the prereleases from the first beta, two months before release. =:^) To your question: Yes, there's an option for tab-switching hotkey (as well as the ability to set hotkeys to go directly to any of the first 10 tabs... among other things). But I think you were looking in the general konsole settings, while konsole, as pretty much all kde apps, has a separate dialog for shortcut/hotkey settings. Look in the settings menu, configure shortcuts option/dialog. The entries in question are next tab and previous tab. There's also the switch to tab X (where X is 1 to 10) entries, if you prefer them. At least there is in kde 4.9.98, aka 4.10-rc3, which is what I'm running ATM. You didn't mention your kde version, but I doubt that has changed recently, very possibly it has been the same since the kde3 era. > Is there a way for Konsole, or a program in it, to override which > clipboard it uses?

FWIW, mc works with the gpm (text-console mouse driver) based selection in a text VC, or the x- based selection in a terminal window such as konsole. mc also has its own clipfile based resources, but that is again an entirely separate resource. Thus, you actually have three selection/clipboard based resources available to you when using mc in konsole, the native X clipboard and selection resources, and mc's own clipfile resource. You may use all three separately, or pick the one you prefer, it's up to you. Meanwhile, while the mc clipfile resources are entirely separate (and file-based), there's quite a bit of configurability available in kde (and thus konsole) for the X-based resources. klipper is the kde-native clipboard-helper tool, allowing to keep a ring-buffer of N elements, with N being configurable, and also to either merge (by copying one to the other) or keep separate the selection and clipboard resources. In mc, meanwhile (as in several other similar "semigui" apps when run in a terminal window such as konsole), holding the "shift" key along with mousing allows you to do traditional X/gpm text selection to the X selection buffer. Whether that also hits the X clipboard buffer and/or activates klipper's own popup actions would then depend on how you have klipper configured. Here, I have it configured to activate klipper popups, but I keep the X clipboard and selection resources separate. However, if I manually activate klipper and select an entry from its buffer, that gets copied to both the selection and the clipboard, thus giving me a way to transfer content between them, should I wish to do so. I'm not sure all functionality is there if you use the keyboard alone or not. I believe from kde's perspective it is, but the X/gpm select/paste feature is intended to work with a mouse, and I'm not sure if it's possible to use the keyboard to bypass that or not. You could still paste in using the clipboard, but I'm not sure if it's possible to select in ordered to copy, without the mouse. Meanwhile, for those sufficiently advanced who would like mc's clipfile functionality integrated as well, given that it's simply a file, it should be quite possible to hack up a script that would watch that file and/or the X clipboard (probably using scripted dbus commands for the latter), and copy content from one to the other (again using scripted dbus commands for the X clipboard side) when the watched content changes. I expect I could do it were I motivated to, but I prefer having the separate resources as I often use them in combination, since that gives me the ability to store and access three separate paste resources at once, so it's not something I'd be likely to find much use for. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

[kde] Build KDE Project
Hi All, I am new to KDE and I want to contribute to KDE as a developer. I need to know best way to build the KDE project (whole project or part of the project). Thank you.

[kde] change tab switch keystrokes in Konsole, and other stuff?
I use Konsole, and I would like to be able to switch tabs the way I would on a typical console, such as with alt and a direction rather than shift and a direction. This is partly because I want to use MCedit, or hopefully SETedit in the future, which are like DOS text editrs that use shift and a direction to highlight text. I did not see the option to change these keys in the Konsole settings. Is there a way for Konsole, or a program in it, to override which clipboard it uses? If I am able to use a text editor like this that I want, it also uses typical clipboard commands... but I want it restricted to its own editor, or to link its clipboard to KDE's, which I might do. ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.
