Kate - Hotkey to switch between Editor and Terminal doesn't work anymore.

Hey Guys,

I'm really enjoying the functionality of kate, specifically the built in terminal. Unfortunatly the hotkey to switch between the editor and terminal doesn't work anymore. I have no idea why. It used to work a while ago but since some update it doesn't. Right now I got version 19.08.2-1.

Can anyone help me on this? I'm not too familiar with Linux and Manjaro yet.


Hmm... It does still work here on my system ─ Manjaro Stable branch with KDE Plasma 5.17.2, fully updated.

The default hotkey is F4, by the way.

I'm running the same Plasma version. Yea I know its default is F4, but it's not working anymore. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Only one, and I don't know whether it's going to work...: Close all instances of Dolphin, rename your ~/.config/dolphinrc to something else from within a terminal, and restart Dolphin.
