I should have read the documentation even more thoroughly. It is a bit nonobvious to set up, but then it does exactly what I wanted.

[konsole] [Bug 474448] Wish: Allow cursor placement by mouse click in the current command
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474448 ninj...@gmail.com changed: What|Removed |Added CC||ninj...@gmail.com --- Comment #3 from ninj...@gmail.com --- There's support for this via semantic shell integration: https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/konsole/konsole/semantic-shell-integration.html Currently, konsole only includes shell code to enable semantic shell integration on bash. However, the shell integration script from the wezterm terminal emulator (https://github.com/wez/wezterm/blob/main/assets/shell-integration/wezterm.sh) also (mostly) works on konsole, and provides integration for zsh in addition to bash. Also note that shells may provide more ways to edit command lines, e.g: bash in emacs mode recognizes Alt+f and Alt+b to move forwards or backwards a word, and these commands can be prefixed by a count, e.g: ESC+12, to move 12 words. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474448 --- Comment #2 from Oliver Sander --- Thank you for your help. I kinda do understand why this is difficult to implement. From a user perspective, however, the behavior is puzzling: There is something that looks like a cursor in an editor, but I cannot move it by mouse clicks. Thanks for pointing me to the QuickCommands plugin. It feels clunky compared to my original wish, but it will nevertheless be helpful for me. I quickly found several bugs concerning the plugin (for example, shift-ctrl-F1 will only open it if the menu bar is not hidden). If you care I can file separate bug reports. Feel free to close this issue if you think that it is unimplementable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=474448 --- Comment #1 from tcanabr...@kde.org --- O believe that there’s no such thing as “cursor” in konsole. This is implemented by terminal applications (such as bash). It’s not something that Konsole controls. I believe we *could* try to do something for the common standard of prompts (bash,fish, zsh) but it will probably be a hack around it. I don’t really know your usecase, but we already offer the “quick actions” plugins for larger commands - would that work? You can copy the test to it, edit as a text editor would; and execute from the plugin.
