|
|
|
<P>Using the option menu one can control much of konsole's appearance. |
|
The configuration is both available using the menu bar or clicking |
|
on konsole's window with the right mouse button. |
|
<UL> |
|
<LI>Menu Bar |
|
<P>Having this option checked provides a menu bar in the top of the |
|
window. Different from the regular behavior, the menu bar does |
|
not accept "hot keys" to prevent making some ALT-key combinations |
|
unusable for the client applications. |
|
<P> |
|
</LI> |
|
<LI>Frame |
|
<P>Selects whether a decorating border is to be drawn. |
|
<P> |
|
</LI> |
|
<LI>Scrollbar |
|
<P>Having a scrollbar provides another way to control the history |
|
buffer. Do not confuse this feature with scrolling inside the |
|
client application, although it often may (and shall) look like. |
|
<P> |
|
</LI> |
|
<LI>Font |
|
<P>The font menu offers two completely different adjustments. |
|
First, a collection of fonts of different sizes given, so |
|
that a font that matches both the resolution and the prefered |
|
window size can be chosen. Second, there is one additional |
|
"Linux" font, that is different from all the above by it's |
|
encoding. One needs to have this font set when running a |
|
linux console emulation. |
|
<P> |
|
</LI> |
|
<LI>Size |
|
<P>While the size of the window is freely adjustable by the regular |
|
means, it may sometimes be desireable to set the size of konsole |
|
window to match the requierements of old, size unaware programs. |
|
The size menu offeres the most often used sizes. If non of them |
|
match, resize the screen due to your needs. When the size is |
|
changed, konsole displays it in the title to help with the |
|
adjustment. |
|
<P> |
|
</LI> |
|
<LI>Color Schema |
|
<P>This option allows one to select a color schema. |
|
(A section explaining how is missing, see /opt/kde/share/apps/konsole |
|
for some examples.) |
|
<P> |
|
</LI> |
|
</UL> |
|
<P>For more historical reasons, the backspace key shall not emit |
|
CTRL-H when running with Linux. (The only application that i |
|
know which really depends on this special behavior is "emacs", |
|
where CTRL-H means "Help"). Although every application is |
|
properly configurable, so one could have configured emacs to |
|
accept F1 as the help key, an uncommon use of the keyboard |
|
codes has been traditionalized. Don't worry about it, just |
|
make sure that the option |
|
<UL> |
|
<LI>BS sends DEL</LI> |
|
</UL> |
|
|
|
is checked. |
|
<P>In this case, konsole send a DEL character (hex 7F) when pressing |
|
the backspace key instead of the regular BS character (hex 08). |
|
The delete key is also sending something different from the DEL |
|
character in this case. |
|
<P>All the above options take effect immediately but only for the |
|
current invocation. To make the adjustments permanent, click the |
|
option: |
|
<UL> |
|
<LI>Save options</LI> |
|
</UL> |
