Summary

In recent KDE Plasma versions, in a similar way to other desktop environments, the global Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut launches Konsole:

Add a global shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+T) to launch Konsole
https://phabricator.kde.org/D13708

that causes a problem there when a Krusader user presses Ctrl+Alt+T in order to show the embedded terminal emulator. A possible substitute is Ctrl+Alt+E, which is not already taken, and if the user presses Ctrl+Alt+T and sees the problem, he can remember the second letter of "terminal" (or the first letter of "embedded terminal emulator") and press Ctrl+Alt+E.

Test Plan

Execute Krusader, press Ctrl+Alt+T, in e.g. Kubuntu 19.04 see a new Konsole window. Close that window. In Krusader press Ctrl+Alt+E, see the embedded terminal emulator, press Ctrl+Alt+E and see that it hides. Press Ctrl+Alt+E to show the embedded terminal emulator again.

Good catch, Toni! No objections for the new shortcut. Please look into

  1. Making the commit headline shorter. Something like "Changed shortcut for the embedded terminal emulator". It's easier to read in the graph view. Please keep everything else, it's very good to have a detailed explanation in the commit message!
  2. Specifying CHANGED: tag, so this is not missed in the ChangeLog on the next release.
