[kde-freebsd] Ctrl-A not working in Konsole 2.14.2 (KDE dev platform 4.14.3)

[Jim Long]

Excellent suggestion, although I'm not sure where the evidence leads.

No, I don't get that.  The Ctrl-A is completely swallowed up, it seems.

On the laptop, where Ctrl-A works, yes, I do get a ^A when I type
Ctrl-V Ctrl-A.  But on the desktop, I don't.  And of course, if I
do Ctrl-V Ctrl-A Ctrl-V Ctrl-A I get ^V after the third keystroke.
Ctrl-V Ctrl-E does give me ^E.

As another data point, I get the same behaviour when running bash in
an xterm window instead of konsole, so it's not strictly a konsole
problem.  But it doesn't happen when X isn't running.  Is there
someplace in my Xorg config I might check?

Thanks for this insight!

Jim
