           Summary: provide "press key" feature
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Program like VirtualBox has a terrific feature -- "pressing keys" from menu (I guess VMware has it too). This way program can at the same time intercept a keyboard shortcut valid for guest environment but also send a raw key code to the guest.

Where does Konsole fit in? Well, let's say I would like to assign ctrl+c for copy. Great. But then I am no longer able to press ctrl+c to terminate programs running in Konsole. The same applies for KDE wide shortcuts, such as ctrl+esc (close window).

Konsole could provide just from the start some presets -- like "ctrl+c", "ctrl+v", plus accelerators keys used for menu. But also allowing user to add/delete the entries would be great.
