I want to add a shortcut to create new tab in Konsole, but I want it to be local and not global (CTRL+T is already used by another application). I've searched and it seems that I need to go to Settings → Configure Keyboard Shortcuts, but I don't have the settings anywhere. I read that I should have a menu bar, but...I don't. What's going on with my Konsole??? Thanks!

Isn't the default to open a new tab in Konsole Ctrl + Shift + T?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ctrl + Alt + T. Your shortcut just opens the last closed Firefox tab.

No, I just tried it. Ctrl + Alt + T opens a new terminal window, but Ctrl + Shift + T opens a tab within the window. These are the default key binds in Konsole, I've never changed them. It's true that it also works to open the last closed tab in various browsers though.

Sorry, I misread your original comment as opening the console not a new tab. Didn't had the best night after clearly getting some flu symptoms this week - especially yesterday evening when I started to feel real sickly. :/

No worries, get well soon!

Would you mind trying to switch application styling under System Settings:

You'll also need to reopen Konsole in order to apply the new styling changes to it.

Not sure if it'll work or not but it might be worth a shot

Thanks for the idea. I've switched from Breeze to Fusion and I still can't see any menu in Konsole, I just see what you can see in the screenshot in the OP.

Alright after intentionally disabling my toolbars I was able to restore it:

  1. With Konsole selected, press F10: to bring up the hamburger menu
  2. Go to Settings 3rd from the bottom
  3. under Toolbars Shown toggle on both Main Toolbar and Session Toolbar

What does CTRL+SHIFT+M do?

[–] peregus 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If Ctrl+Shift+M isn't showing the menu then try right clicking on the konsole window and using the "Menu" option right at the bottom of the list.

[–] peregus 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If I right click everywhere, I just see the menu that you can see in the screenshot of the OP, I can't see any settings anywhere :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

It looks like you're clicking on the title bar, roughly where the menu bar would be, click instead in the actual window.

[–] peregus 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Everywhere I click, I get the same manu that you see in the screenshot

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Then there seems to be something wrong with your theme or installation as you should get the above. Also, Ctrl + Shift + T should open a new tab by default.

What version of Plasma are you running?

[–] peregus 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

From your screenshot, I'm missing just the Menu.
My KDE Plasma version is 6.1.5 CTRL+SHIFT+T works, and that's something, THANKS! But if it's possible I'd like to understand what's wrong with my system. Thanks for the support!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Try Ctrl + Alt + , to bring up keyboard shortcuts and from there your should be able to set show menu bar. Ctrl + Shift + , brings up the settings. These are all default key bindings so if they have been changed, you will have to experiment a bit.

[–] peregus 1 points 5 days ago

In the shortcut menu I can see that CTRL+SHIFT+M should bring up the menu, but it does not, it emulate enter. By the way, I've solved with F10. Thanks!
