            Bug ID: 506340
           Summary: Dolphin sends Ctrl-E/Ctrl-U to terminal interfering
                    with user shell key bindings
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
      Version First 25.04.2
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: panels: terminal

  Target Milestone: ---

Dolphin sends Ctrl-E followed by Ctrl-U to clear terminal lines when syncing
directories
This interferes with user-defined shell key bindings (like Fish shell's bind
\ce)
Happens can be seen when the use has navigated to a different directory, and
presses F4 a few times.
This is improper behavior - file managers should not send shell control
characters
Should use proper terminal escape sequences instead

Standard terminal control sequences would be:
ESC[E or ESC[999C to move cursor to end of line
ESC[2K to clear the entire line
ESC[K to clear from cursor to end of line

SUMMARY
Terminal panel sends unexpected Ctrl+E and Ctrl+U sequence, instead of Standard
terminal control sequences


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up Fish shell binding: bind \ce 'echo "hello bug triggered 1"', bind \cu
'echo "hello bug triggered 2"'
2. Navigate to a different directory, Press F4 for konsole.
3. Triggers the Ctrl-E binding and Ctrl-U unexpectedly

OBSERVED RESULT
> hello bug triggered
hello bug triggered 2


EXPECTED RESULT
Not having these triggered

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: ?
KDE Plasma Version: not running on plasma
KDE Frameworks Version: 25.04.2
Qt Version: 6.?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Possibly seen in other shells.  I am unsure if this should be filed under
dolphin or konsole.
