[kscreenlocker] [Bug 415443] New: Wrong password delay should be configurable
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415443 Bug ID: 415443 Summary: Wrong password delay should be configurable Product: kscreenlocker Version: unspecified Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: greeter Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: radon.n...@gmail.com CC: bhus...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When I type in a wrong password on the KDE lock screen, the input field is grayed out for three seconds and I must wait to try again. This behavior should be optional. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Log in 2. Lock screen 3. Type in wrong password OBSERVED RESULT The password field is grayed out for three seconds. EXPECTED RESULT I wish for there to be no delay, or equally as good -- a delay of around 100ms. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: 4.19.88 KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0 Qt Version: 5.13.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Whenever somebody proposes that the wrong password delay be configurable, somebody else says "but that's bad security practice". I don't agree. A delay of three seconds is really annoying from a user perspective, whereas a delay of 100ms is unnoticeable. But both delays will suffice entirely to deter brute-force attackers. It would be ideal if the default delay is inherited from PAM, because -- well, why not? Isn't the whole point of PAM for it to be a central place to configure this sort of thing? By configuring PAM, I change the security profile of my tty logins, my sudo prompts, my remote logins, ... but not KDE, it seems. But really, this should be configurable. What I had to do is patch the source of kscreenlocker (and it sure did take a while to figure out that kscreenlocker was the culprit). For other hapless users like myself, the process is as follows on Manjaro/Arch: $ yay -G kscreenlocker $ cd kscreenlocker $ makepkg --nobuild Now go into src/ and find the line 'm_graceLockTimer->setInterval(3000);'. Edit 3000 to be 0 instead. $ makepkg --noextract -si Log out and back in -- voila!

[konsole] [Bug 409563] Konsole does not send shift+tab (backtab) to terminal
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409563 --- Comment #2 from Radon Rosborough --- Thanks, I can confirm that fixes the issue. It did not occur to me that there would be a place for customizing the behavior of the keyboard aside from Edit Current Profile > Keyboard. I now see that there are several different menu items for the settings; perhaps they could be unified to avoid confusion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[konsole] [Bug 409563] New: Konsole does not send shift+tab (backtab) to terminal
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=409563 Bug ID: 409563 Summary: Konsole does not send shift+tab (backtab) to terminal Product: konsole Version: 19.04.2 Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: keyboard Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: radon.n...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When I type shift+tab in Konsole, nothing happens. The terminal does not receive any key sequence (verify in Zsh by typing M-x describe-key-briefly and then shift+tab). This contradicts the default keyboard configuration, which says that Backtab+Ansi should generate the sequence I would expect, namely \E[Z. (I use this for cycling backwards through completion candidates in Zsh, as per https://stackoverflow.com/a/842370/3538165.) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Konsole 2. Run Zsh 3. Type M-x describe-key-briefly and then shift+tab. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT I should at least see "undefined-key" from Zsh, indicating that a key sequence was sent to the terminal.
