[gentoo-user] ScrollLock and KDE Konsole

[gentoo-user] ScrollLock and KDE Konsole

[Bertram Scharpf]

Hi,


I have a Speedlink Illuminated Keyboard that shines blue
when the ScrollLock key is on. This seems to be kind of
hardcoded.

Unfortunately the KDE Konsole uses the ScrollLock function,
too. Here, it activates/deactivates controll flow similar to
Ctrl-S/-Q in Xterm. So the wunderful blue light will be
switched off every time I open a command line in KDE.

Does anyone know a way to turn this ScrollLock behaviour
off?

Thanks in advance,

Bertram

Well I know that is not a solution to the Konsole problem but maybe you are
interested on try new terms lighter than Konsole, I used Konsole in past and
it consumes about 15+ of RAM doing nothing. You can try mrxvt if you like
tabs

To be honest, it's not my computer. I try to convince other
persons to use Linux. For this purpose, Konsole is a rather
good solution I think and that's the reason I installed KDE
at all.

Thanks anyway,

Bertram

Try the following:

Open up a Konsole session;
Click on Settings;
On the first page of the settings notebook click "Use Ctrl+S/Ctrl+Q flow
control".

You will need to do this for each user, as it is a user-specific
setting.

That will _enable_ Ctrl-S/-Q but it will not _disable_
ScrollLock. I already tried that.

You could use "Control Centre > Regional and Accessibility > Input 
Actions" to map the ScrollLock key to some program which does "nothing". 
That'll stop konsole from grabbing it.

Ah, that helps. Now I can at least switch the light on.
Thank you!

Still, Konsole switches ScrollLock off when I shift to
another subwindow. I tried to play around with xmodmap but I
don't manage to switch on ScrollLock state by hand.
