Konsole是KDE平臺上的X終端模擬器，便於用戶使用命令列。除了提供使用強大shell的方法外，Konsole同樣提供很多能讓命令列操作便利和愉快的功能，比如配置檔案管理，回滾和配色方案，以及半透明效果。

Konsole also provides an embedded KPart terminal which is used by apps such as Yakuake, Dolphin, and Kate, giving users a consistent and familiar interface when working in the command line.

Tutorials and Tips

Language

With Konsole you can change the language to plain English (to see bugs info for example) by command:

export LANG=C

Shortcuts

Switch tab: Shift + Left, Shift + Right (not like X-Chat, Firefox, Quanta, Kdevelop).

Note

Quanta and Kdevelop use Alt + Left, Alt + Right. However, Shift + Direction has the advantage of being reachable with one hand on virtually all keyboard layouts, while Alt keys are sometimes only on the left of the keyboard (e.g. in Germany).

New tab: Shift + Ctrl + T.

Label your Tabs

If you regularly use a lot of tabs, you'll sometimes find it convenient to label them. Just double-click on the tab and you'll get a re-name dialogue.

Profile Management

To add a new profile go to Settings -> Profile Management -> New Profile
On the General tab, enter the new profile name and change the icon if desired.
If this is to be a root konsole, enter the command
```
/bin/su -
```
:

Tip

This command will not work on any distro that uses sudo (like Ubuntu). On such distributions use:

sudo su

or just prepend all your commands that requires superuser privileges with sudo.

Font size can also be changed on the Appearance tab.

On the Manage Profiles screen you can add or remove a star, which controls whether that profile is to be offered on the File menu.
