Help

In the Konsole embedded terminal the arrow keys (and Home/End key, as well as combinations as Ctrl-) not working anymore for me in Krusader.
Any help is appreciated.

It is working for me (arrow keys, home/end, pageUp/pageDown). Which version of Krusader, KDE Frameworks and Qt?

Thanks for your reply and sorry for forgetting to include the infos.

Krusader 2.8.1 “A New day”
on Manjaro 24.2.0

KDE Frameworks 6.8.0
Qt 6.8.0

Does someone have any idea, what I can do/test?

This is embarrasing… to find a Manjaro user that can’t type ‘info’ into the menu and click ‘copy details’.

Info 
Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.6-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with Radeon Graphics
Memory: 16.1 GB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics
Product Name: B550M Steel Legend

This on Testing branch, I assume OP is on Stable…

Test it with Dolphin perhaps… the Konsole that comes up in Krusader (using konsolepart) sucked so bad I just purged it.

Fonts don’t look right, rendering wasn’t good, and arrow keys didn’t work as expected - nothing like Konsole.

What does showkey -a show you when you press the nav keys?

Have you confirmed that the Profile has the correct Key bindings (keytab)?

@pallaswept: Thanks a lot for your reply. It brought me into the right direction, even if I didn’t find out what the used keytab file was.

The solution was to install the newest (git) version of Krusader (via AUR) as Manjaro still uses Krusader 2.8.1 which is - unlike most other KDE apps - KDE5 based (and needed konsolepart5 package therefor to be installed, what I forgot in the meantime). Maybe the keytab file used by it was in the KDE5 Konsole package, which wasn’t installed anymore.

@ben2talk: Thanks for your suggestion to test with Dolphin. That helped!

Not nice :expressionless:
Maybe you could consider that not everyone knows where to find information about OS, Krusader, KDE Frameworks, and Qt in the most easy way. Or appreciate that they found the information anyway. Just sayin’. :slight_smile:

Happy New Year! :tada:

You’re welcome. Your theory about kde5 sounds plausible. Nice work figuring that one out :slight_smile:

I apologise - these are skills which people pick up on their very first visit to the Manjaro forum.

These things are presented to them on the desktop in the ‘Hello’ application…

The best solutions for Manjaro strangely come from the Manjaro community and development team…

I also have no experience with any desktop or device I used over the last 40 years where typing ‘info’ into a search menu will always link up to system information.
