Konsole delete word

By Raymond Li (Raymo111) 29 August 2021

To map shortcuts like Ctrl+Bksp/Del to delete words backwards and forwards in Konsole:

1. Go to Settings > Edit Current Profile... > Keyboard > Edit...`
2. Edit (or add) the following key combos if they don't already exist:

Key Combination	Output	(Explanation)
Backspace-Ctrl	\x7f	Backspace without Ctrl should just delete the character before the cursor
Backspace+Ctrl	\E\b	Backspace with Ctrl should delete the word before the cursor. ^H should be encoded as \x08 (ascii control character code in hex) but Konsole converts that to \b, it's code for backspace.

Here is the best setup (I think so :D) for K-series Keychron keyboards on Linux.

Note: many newer Keychron keyboards use QMK as firmware and most tips here do not apply to them. Maybe the ones related to Bluetooth can be useful, but everything related to Apple's keyboard module (hid_apple) on Linux, won't work. As far as I know, all QMK-based boards use the hid_generic module instead. Examples of QMK-based boards are: Q, Q-Pro, V, K-Pro, etc.

Most of these commands have been tested on Ubuntu 20.04 and should also work on most Debian-based distributions. If a command happens not to work for you, take a look in the comment section.

Make Fn + F-keys work (NOT FOR QMK-BASED BOARDS)

Older Keychron keyboards (those not based on QMK) use the hid_apple driver on Linux, even in the Windows/Android mode, both in Bluetooth and Wired modes.
