Hi, I’m having a strange issue, where I am missing the settings menu from the right-click context menus, as well as the menu bar. I had removed the menu bar to achieve a minimal look, but when I went to get it back, I was surprised that I couldn’t find a way to do so, or to access the settings context menu I had used to customize my Konsole windows.
I couldn’t find a way to take a screenshot while the right-click context menu was activated, so please pardon the photo of my monitor - here is what my Konsole window looks like, and my available context menus:
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+M just starts a new line on the terminal and no changes are made
The menubar is at the top of the Konsole window. If the menubar is hidden, Show Menu Bar can be reached by right clicking in the window (as long as no full screen application is running in that window such as vi, minicom, etc.). The default shortcut is listed after each menu item.
Alternatively you can use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M to show or hide the menubar.
Updating Konsole with yay -S konsole
Un-installing and re-installing Konsole/Yakuake through GNOME Console
Regarding the settings context menu, I can access it with Ctrl+Shift+,, but I would like to know how to get it back, if possible.
I haven’t tested this so back this up (rename the folder) and see if it gives you a default view
/home/smokey/.local/share/konsole
ie rename this folder konsole1 etc if it doesnt work revert the change and report back
Thanks a lot for your help. I tried deleting the ~/.local/share/konsole folder and reinstalling Konsole, but that didn’t bring anything back.
Have you made any other changes that may be interfering with this?
The only thing I can think of is the tinkering I did with my themes and application style today, but I don’t think any of that should impact the availability of the settings option of the Konsole context menu.
It shouldn’t but try reverting them back and see if it makes a difference, best to rule out every possibilty
Toggling the Application Style on and off for both Plasma and GNOME/GTK Application Style seems to have fixed it, and I’ve been able to bring back the menu bar:
A bit of a side note, but I started out with GNOME as I wanted something drastically different from Windows and default KDE reminded me too much of Windows and my previous Manjaro KDE experiences, which I didn’t like.
So I spent two days getting a GNOME setup that I was pretty happy with, but I realized I was jumping through too many hoops and having to install extensions to customize GNOME in the way that I wanted, whereas many of those options are available by default on KDE. So I switched to KDE, and I’m actually happier with my customized KDE than I was with GNOME.
I was thinking that I would keep the GNOME DE installed just in case I want to switch things up from KDE, but if having both DEs can lead to bugs, I may just uninstall GNOME and only use KDE going forward.
Yer I would have done a clean install with only one desktop as I mentioned this can cause all sorts of issues, and you’re welcome, always happy to try help someone
