Thanks.

A particular reason for not having reinstalled KDE after the 10.12 upgrade, other than lack of time?

Since you've apparently been testing Konsole on Mac: have you ever been able to send shell interrupts like ^C? They work fine in Konsole4 for me, but most don't in Konsole5, despite my patch and regardless of how Qt's Ctrl/Meta swap is configured.

But: after building Qt's XCB plugin I now have a very nice new X11 terminal emulator, the same as I use on Linux (and no need to build Konsole any different for that) :)

This is the likely reason why Qt has swapped Qt::CTRL and Qt::META by default on that platform, but Konsole deactivates that feature. As a result, shortcuts are identical to what they are on other platforms, but not in line with what's standard on OS X.

There is an added benefit of not using the Control key for shortcuts: `Copy` can be the usual `Command-C` instead of `Ctrl-Shift-C` on other platforms; idem for the `Paste` shortcut. I've adapted the shortcuts of a few other actions to the key combinations OS X uses for those actions.
