[joseph22]

downloaded ISO
Kubuntu 22.10

Ok checksum

lsb_release -ds
Ubuntu 22.10

VERSION="22.10 (Kinetic Kudu)"


ran
sudo apt update;sudo apt list --upgradeable;sudo apt full-upgrade --fix-missing;sudo apt autoremove --purge;


But
Ctrl-Alt-T does not open: Terminal, Konsole, CLI command line interface

Konsole Version 22.08.2 opened via mouse
Konsole Version 22.08.2 did not open via Ctrl-Alt-T

How come programmers stop allowing Ctrl-Alt-T ?

No one is stopping anyone.
You should be able to add it via System Settings.

Not sure if Kubuntu has always added this as a shortcut, but I often have to add it myself in other distros. They probably have gone with the (iirc) KDE defaults of not having included?
If not, it is a bug/oversight.

That shortcut is not enabled by default in Plasma, but is one of the examples given in systemsettings. Where it can be enabled

See image below with Magnifier:

Run Konsole _ is blocked.
Run Konsole _ is not allowed.
1x Left mouse click does not activate, no check mark is possible.
2x Left mouse click does not activate, no check mark is possible.
Space bar does not activate, no check mark is possible.
Enter does not activate, no check mark is possible.
In Windoze language Run Konsole _ is Greyed-out.

[acheron]

Run Konsole _ is blocked.

No it's not. Check the examples box at the top 1st to activate the subgroup.

How come Ctrl-Alt-T works, Opens Terminal, with
no check marks with
Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) ?

Could well ask why a Red Delicious Apple doesn't taste the same as a Golden Delicious Apple; they're both apples, right? Just do as acheron has suggested.

How come Ctrl-Alt-T Opens Terminal,
with 2 missing check marks, no tick symbols,
with Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) ?

> acheron suggested:

acheron suggestion works with
22.10 but suggestion is not needed with
22.04.1

2 ticks are missing and
Ctrl-Alt-T works with
no check marks, no tick symbols,
with 22.04.1 LTS.

Ctrl-Alt-T works with 2 missing check marks at
1. the top 1st to activate the subgroup, Examples _ .
2. Run Konsole _ . See images below.


Said another way ...
With Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)
with defaults from ISO, fresh installation,
with above 2 check marks missing,
what is enabling Ctrl-Alt-T to Launch Terminal ?

My guess? it worked before because Ubuntu had this setting in the standard xorg config before. So it worked in all desktops. Now, Ubuntu uses Wayland as the default, so needs to set this shortcut using desktop-specific settings as the xcb settings are now useless for Wayland. The Desktop-specific (Gnome) settings work in both Wayland and Xorg, so this is where Ubuntu now sets this shortcut. And the Gnome keyboard shortcuts are not included in the KDE Plasma desktop (incompatible? settings files I imagine?)
My guess is those xcb configs are no longer used, or don't exist. At some point I will see if I can dig in and see.

Plasma by default does not set a shortcut to open a terminal via a shortcut. Kubuntu uses Plasma's default desktop settings, usually.
So unless Kubuntu decide to change away from Plasma default settings, you will need to do so yourself.
