right handed mouse button order.
For the left handed mouse button order, swap left and right in the text below.
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><span class="mousebutton">Left</span></span></dt><dd><p> All <span class="mousebutton">left</span> mouse button clicks will be sent to a mouse-aware
application running in <span class="application">Konsole</span>.
If an application will react on mouse clicks, <span class="application">Konsole</span>
indicates this by showing an arrow cursor. If not, an I-beam (bar)
cursor is shown.</p><p>Holding the <span class="mousebutton">left</span> mouse button down and
dragging the mouse over the screen with a mouse-unaware application
running will mark a region of the text. While dragging the mouse, the marked
text is displayed in reversed color for visual feedback. Select <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenuitem">Copy</span></span>
from the <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guimenu">Edit</span></span> menu to copy the marked text to the clipboard for further use
within <span class="application">Konsole</span> or another application. The selected text can also be
dragged and dropped into compatible applications. Hold the <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span> key and
drag the selected text to the desired location.</p><p>Normally, new-line characters are inserted at the end of each
line selected. This is best for cut and paste of source code, or the output
of a particular command. For ordinary text, the line breaks are often
not important. One might prefer, however, for the text to be a stream
of characters that will be automatically re-formatted when pasted into
another application. To select in text-stream mode, hold down the
<span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span> key while selecting normally.</p><p>Pressing the <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span> and <span class="keycap"><strong>Alt</strong></span> keys along with the <span class="mousebutton">left</span> mouse button
will select text in columns.
</p><p>Double-click with the <span class="mousebutton">left</span> mouse button to select a word;
triple-click to select an entire line.</p><p>If the upper or lower edge of the text area is touched while
marking, <span class="application">Konsole</span> scrolls up or down, eventually exposing text within
the history buffer. The scrolling stops when the mouse stops
moving.</p><p>After the mouse is released, <span class="application">Konsole</span> attempts to keep the text
in the clipboard visible by holding the marked area reversed. The
marked area reverts back to normal as soon as the contents of the
clipboard change, the text within the marked area is altered or the
<span class="mousebutton">left</span> mouse button is clicked.</p><p>To mark text in a mouse-aware application (Midnight Commander, for example)
the <span class="keycap"><strong>Shift</strong></span> key has to be pressed when clicking.</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><span class="mousebutton">Middle</span></span></dt><dd><p>Pressing the <span class="mousebutton">middle</span> mouse button
pastes text currently in the clipboard. Holding down the <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span> key as you
press the <span class="mousebutton">middle</span> mouse button pastes the text and appends a new-line. That is convenient

This allows Qt to render text correctly when the shape of a character depends on the characters before or after it. This might result in incorrect position of some characters.
</p><p>
Spaces always break strings, so they are always in the correct positions. This ensures that characters are never too far from their correct position.

<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guilabel">Use the same attributes for each whole word</span></span> - When this is enabled, words are rendered with the same attributes (text color, bold, italic, etc.). If an attribute changes mid-word, it will only take effect after the end of the word. When this is disabled, a new word starts when attributes change. This results in characters changing shape and position when moving the cursor or selecting text.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guilabel">ASCII characters</span></span> -
Group ASCII characters into words as described above. The most noticeable effect of this option is that enabling this shows programming ligatures
(for fonts that support them). E.g. the string <= may be displayed as ⩽.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guilabel">Brahmic scripts characters</span></span> -
Group Brahmic characters as described above. Without this option (depending on the font) some words may not be connected as they should. With this enabled Brahmic characters may appear out of position. E.g. the third character in the second line might not appear directly under the third character in the first line.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guilabel">Emoji Font:</span></span> -
This allows specifying the font to use for Unicode Emoji characters. If not set, the default profile font will be used, or some fallback font may be used by the system if the glyphs are missing from this font.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guilabel">Bi-Directional text rendering</span></span> -

<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="guiitem"><span class="guilabel">Table characters BiDi mode override</span></span> -

The default style sheet for the tab bar sets the minimum and maximum tab
widths. The user can create a <code class="filename">.css</code> file and have <span class="application">Konsole</span> use that as the
style sheet for the tab bar. In the <code class="filename">.css</code> file, the widget to use is
<strong class="userinput"><code>QTabBar::tab</code></strong>.
</p><p>

Since KDE4 all the tabs use the same process ID. This has the side-effect that if one tab's process has issues, all the other tabs may experience issues as well.
</p><p>
This is most noticeable when a command that connects to an external device or system (ssh, nfs) has issues.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="application">Konsole</span> treats arguments after the <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="option"><code class="option">-e</code></span> option as one command and runs it directly, instead of parsing it and possibly dividing it into sub-commands for execution. This is different from xterm.
</p><p>
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: opencircle; "><li class="listitem" style="list-style-type: circle"><p>
<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="command"><span class="command"><strong>konsole -e "command1 ; command2"</strong></span></span> does not work

<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="command"><span class="command"><strong>konsole -e $SHELL -c "command1 ; command2"</strong></span></span> works
</p></li></ul></div><p>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<span class="application">Konsole</span> doesn't provide convenience for running login shell, because developers don't like the idea of running login shell in a terminal emulator.
</p><p>
Of course, users still can run login shell in <span class="application">Konsole</span> if they really need to. Edit the profile in use and modify its command to the form of starting a login shell explicitly, such as "<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="command"><span class="command"><strong>bash -l</strong></span></span>" and "<span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="command"><span class="command"><strong>zsh -l</strong></span></span>".
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
The <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="option"><code class="option">--new-tab</code></span> option sometimes behaves strangely. It may create new window, or it may create new tab in another existing <span class="application">Konsole</span> window instead of the current <span class="application">Konsole</span> window.
</p><p>
Those behaviors feel strange, but they are not necessarily bugs. The <span xmlns:doc="http://nwalsh.com/xsl/documentation/1.0" class="option"><code class="option">--new-tab</code></span> option tries to reuse existing <span class="application">Konsole</span> windows, but not all <span class="application">Konsole</span> windows are reusable. All <span class="application">Konsole</span> windows opened through <span class="application">KRunner</span> are reusable, while most <span class="application">Konsole</span> windows opened from command line are not.
