Allow only one Konsole instance ?
Hi,
When pressing Ctrl-Alt-T when Konsole is already open, I would like for the existing window to be unminimized and for a new tab to be created, rather than a new window.
How to do this ?
Thanks
Yes very possible
Exec=konsole to Exec=konsole --new-tab I did this, works without issues
Also, in Shortcuts, remove Ctrl-Alt-T from "Launch" and put it on "Open in New Tab".
And it annoys me that you can't close tabs in Konsole with middle click. Just sayin'.

That works, thank you !

Actually, that works. Konsole v24.12.1 on KDE neon 6.2
Although I always close all terminal sessions on all devices with Ctrl+D because it's universal.
Open the konsole settings, enable “use a single process” (or something)
Yeah I did that already thinking it would solve this but I didn't know there was an additional step to perform 😅
Copy the konsole desktop entry from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications
So, I just did something stupid. 😭
cp /usr/share/applications ~/.local/share/applications not noticing that you didn't specify the name of the file ; rm -r ~/.local/share/applications ; mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications && cp /usr/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop ~/.local/share/applications, I noticed a bunch of my apps disappeared, meaning this directory already existed and already had files that weren't duplicates from /usr/share/applications. How do I recover from that ?
Thank you
Lol ma boy
Good idea but obviously you should have looked what entries there were
undefined
diff --color=auto -qy ~/.local/share/applications /usr/share/applications
Would have been the command.
Good luck getting your entries back! (And no, rm has no wastebin...)
Normally only user customized ones go in there, maybe if you use hacky tools like appimage-manager or so they too.
I don't know how to recover exactly, but if none of the files were handwritten, they probably came from something like flatpak - applications installed specifically for your user. You should probably look into whatever you might be using to install software for help restoring/recreating the .desktop files, or worst case reinstall the software you lost them for.
On a side note, doesn't cp error when trying to copy folders without the recursive flag?
Mildly related, but maybe yakuake might be for you.
You make it start on startup. Then when pressing Ctrl alt T (or whatever you configure) it will retract/expand from the top. Can add another hotkey to open a new tab, etc
Yeah, I'm not a fan of this, but I understand some people are. Thank you for the suggestion !
