           Summary: ALT+F activates "find" in the toolbar

           Product: konsole
           Version: 24.02.0
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux

Konsole opens search box after pressing ALT+F

SUMMARY

In most shells, ALT+F is a shortcut for moving the cursor one word forward. 
But if the main toolbar is shown, the ALT key will activate toolbar buttons
instead of being sent to the shell.  This problem only occurs after I upgraded
to KDE 6.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. (Optional) Create a new user and re-login with that, to ensure we are using
the default configuration.
1. Open Konsole, and ensure the main toolbar is shown. (This is the default.)
2. Type "echo hello world" in the shell, but do not press the ENTER key.
3. Press CTRL+A, and the cursor should move to the beginning of the line.
4. Press ALT+F

OBSERVED RESULT

When holding the ALT key, underlines appear under the letter 'N' in "New Tab",
'S' in "Split View", ..., and 'F' under "Find..." in the main toolbar.

When the F key is pressed while holding the ALT key, the search box is open, as
if the toolbar button "Find..." is clicked.  Please see the screenshot in the
attachment.

EXPECTED RESULT

The ALT+* key combos should be sent to the shell.  In this case, after pressing
ALT+F, the cursor should be under the space between "echo" and "hello". 
Pressing ALT+F again should move the cursor to the space between "hello" and
"world", and pressing it again should move the cursor to the end of the line.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Distribution: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
Kernel version: 6.7.8-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This problem only occurs after upgrading to KDE 6.

One way to work around this problem is hiding the main toolbar.  CTRL+SHIFT+F
also opens the search box even if the main toolbar is hidden.
