[Konsole-devel] [PATCH] konsole: Increase the number of tab-switch hotkeys from 10 to 14

[Kurt Hindenburg]

Hello,   thanks for the patch and feedback.  My keyboard has 19 function
keys - I wonder if allowing 19 would be a good idea.

The 'Show Menubar' should work and does here.  If you assign 'Full Screen'
a shortcut does that work?

Konsole/KDE uses Qt/KDE standard help command-line options - I'll see what
it would take to add it.​​

--fullscreen was just added so it will be in KDE 4.11​​ (On a side-note I
see gnome uses "--full-screen")

Yes, this has been asked before and there is a bug report on it.​​

Yes, I had thought F11 was bound to full screen but I agree w/ you.​​

The Handbook (Help->Konsole Handbook) does have 1 example​​ and there are
some examples in the code.

In KDE3 you could have only icons or only text - we haven't implemented
this in KDE4 although it has been asked for.​​
