Hello, two questions/problems (+ some) with my Konsole

[Kurt_009]

Hi, adding the Konsole mailing list in case someone else can reply before I do.

Thanks,

This was advice for my Distro, Linux Mint 19.3 (could've still been 19.2 when I did that), from the official help-chat channel an IRC, but the KDE session seems like it's "messed up" in that it seems to lack a lot of necessary stuff and lack much features.

But there was a short time that I had configured Vivaldi as my default browser (in XFCE desktop), and it might be that this within the period when I installed Konsole... Now, the thing is, I changed my default back to FireFox, now every terminal emulator supporting opening links opens them in FireFox, but Konsole still opens them in Vivaldi (which normally means it launches a second browser with several windows and hundreds of tabs on top of FireFox (13 windows, >1000 tabs currently, working cleaning that up ;) ). It also does this when I open documentation from Help-menu (unlike other applications, it doesn't even ask if I want to open the Online Documentation, it just does it).

The common hotkey I mentioned doesn't work and there is no option for scroll up/down in Konsole key bindings configuration... So how do I scroll with keyboard on Konsole?

How could I write one myself, if there isn't one, so env variable TERM could be set to "Konsole" and it could look up and fine correct TERMINFO (or that correct TERMCAP could be set up for the shell session)? My question about recognizing Konsole is in case TERM is set to xterm-256colour or something (because no TERMINFO for "Konsole"), are there sure way (it doesn't have to make sure someone's hasn't just set up fake env variables that would normally be present only in Konsole) to recognize if the terminal is Konsole, AND if it's compiled with full-colour support (I don't know if it's even an option at build time to leave it out)?
