[Konsole-devel] recent konsole regressions?

[Robert Knight]

Hi Sascha, Kurt

I know that you did post these changes on ReviewBoard earlier and I
should have given feedback on them then, so apologies for the late
feedback.  I'll try to follow up earlier in future.

* The reason for having an 'Edit Current Profile' action in the
Settings menu previously was that a large number of Konsole users only
have one profile, so forcing them to go through the 'Manage Profiles'
dialog is unnecessary hassle.  Though this action is present in the
right-click context menu I think it should also be available via the
Settings menu.

* The change in the 'new tab' shortcut is something I'm not sure
about.  The reason for going with 'Ctrl+Shift+N' originally, as
opposed to Ctrl+Shift+T was partly because I think of a 'new tab' as
being analogous to a 'new document' in a document-based application
but also because of the way the keys are laid out on a QWERTY keyboard
which makes 'Ctrl+Shift+N' slightly easier to type (Ctrl+Shift pressed
with left hand, 'N' with right hand, as opposed to Ctrl+Shift+T all
pressed with left hand).  On the flip side, as you mentioned, this is
inconsistent with other applications.  Similar logic around ease of
reaching the keys explains why the default tab-switching shortcut was
originally Shift+Left/Right arrow rather than Ctrl+PageUp/PageDown
(although the later was added as an alternate shortcut).

Regards,
Robert.
