My normal modus operandi is to heavily use tabs with Konsole. My strategy gets pretty hectic when you have a Konsole per machine with multiple tabs, trying to juggle everything… It’s basically reached it’s scalability threshold. I’m hoping injecting GNU Screen into my workflow will simplify things a little bit (though I’m not completely sold yet). But what I need a quick reference for all the shortcuts, which is where this page comes in. I will expand this as I pick up new commands.
