KDE KControl konsole terminal

## &konsole;

In this module, you can configure basic settings for &konsole;, the &kde; terminal. You can also easily create new schemata (appearance files) for &konsole;.

This module contains several tab pages: General, Schema, Session and Write Daemon.

### General

This tab page allows you to configure aspects of &konsole;'s functions. It contains the following options:

Use Konsole as default terminal application

  If you wish to have &kde; use another terminal application by default, uncheck this box and enter the preferred application (wterm, rxvt, &etc;) in the text field below.

Show Terminal Size when Resizing

  By default, &konsole; will show the size (in characters) of the window when you are resizing, allowing you to make the window a specific size. Uncheck this box to turn off this behavior

Show Frame

  Draw an inner frame around the inside of the &konsole; window.

Confirm quit with open sessions

  When set, a warning appears when you try to close a &konsole; window with multiple sessions.

Blinking Cursor

  If you have trouble spotting the cursor in the &konsole; window, you can have it blink to draw your attention.

Line Spacing

  Change the space between lines of text.

Consider the following characters part of a word when double clicking

  It is a common &UNIX; behavior to select a whole word when you double click on it, however, the computer's idea of a word may differ from yours. Add characters here that you would like to be considered always to be part of a word. For example, adding the `@` character will allow you to double click to select an entire email address.

### Schema

The Schema page will allow you to easily create, edit and save schemata, with text and background coloring, transparency and background images.
