## &konsole;

In this module, you can configure basic settings for &konsole;, the &tde; terminal. You can also easily create new schemata (appearance files) for &konsole;.

This module contains several tab pages: General, Schema, Session and Write Daemon.

### General

This tab page allows you to configure aspects of &konsole;'s functions. It contains the following options:

Show Terminal Size when Resizing

  By default, &konsole; will show the size (in characters) of the window when you are resizing, allowing you to make the window a specific size. Uncheck this box to turn off this behavior.

Show Frame

  Draw an inner frame around the inside of the &konsole; window.

Confirm quit when closing more than one session

  When set, a warning appears when you try to close a &konsole; window with multiple sessions.

Blinking Cursor

  If you have trouble spotting the cursor in the &konsole; window, you can have it blink to draw your attention.

Require Ctrl key for drag and drop

  If unchecked, you can drag and drop selected text by using the mouse. If checked, the Ctrl key needs to be held down to allow drag and drop (this is a good way to avoid erroneous drag and drop operations).

Triple click selects only from the current word forward

  If checked, a mouse triple click will select everything from the current cursor position to the end of the lime. If unchecked, a mouse triple click will select the entire current row.

Allow programs to resize terminal window

  If checked, programs can resize the terminal window.

Use Ctrl+S/Ctrl+Q flow control

  If checked, Ctrl+S/Ctrl+Q can be used to control the flow of output characters sent to the terminal. After pressing CTRL-S, the system will not send any more data to the screen until a CTRL-Q is pressed.

Enable bidirectional text rendering

  If checked, text can be rendered from left to right or from right to left. This is useful to support languages which are written in the second way.

Set tab title to match window title

  If checked, the title of the tab representing the current session will match the text displayed on the window title bar. Whenever the window title changes, the tab tile changes as well.

Cycle tabs with mouse wheel

  If checked, you can move through the different session tabs using the mouse wheel over the tabbar control. If unchecked, the action is disabled.

Enable main menu accelerator keys

  If checked, the main menu shortcut keys are enabled, otherwise they are disabled.

  If menu accelerators are enabled, some Alt-key combinations may not be handled correctly any longer in Konsole applications.

Handle Meta key as Alt Key

  If checked, the Meta key will be handled as if it was an Alt key.

  This is a useful option if you have enabled the main menu shortcut keys. You can use the Meta key to activate those Alt-key combinations that otherwise would not work any longer in Konsole.

Line Spacing

  Change the space between lines of text.

Seconds to detect silence

  Allows to specify the time interval used for monitoring the Konsole for silence.

Consider the following characters part of a word when double clicking

  It is a common &UNIX; behavior to select a whole word when you double click on it, however, the computer's idea of a word may differ from yours. Add characters here that you would like to be considered always to be part of a word. For example, adding the `@` character will allow you to double click to select an entire email address.

### Schema

The Schema page will allow you to easily create, edit and save schemata, with text and background coloring, transparency and background images.
