Questions[konsole](ubuntu)

I need a bash script that does the following:

1. open a new terminal
2. change to a specific directory
3. run a command in that directory
4. keep the terminal open for further use

Specifically I want to:

1. open the konsole terminal
2. change to /my/work/dir/
3. inside /my/work/dir/, run source bin/activate
4. after that I need to run further commands inside /my/work/dir/, e.g. ls

A very similar question was given the following answer for the script (adapted to my requirements):

#!/usr/bin/env bash
konsole --noclose --workdir /my/work/dir/ -e 'bash -c 'source bin/activate'' 

This does open a new terminal inside /my/work/dir/, but the terminal is not interactive. The

user@userMachine: /my/work/dir$

is missing that allows me to run further commands and anything I type (e.g. pwd) returns nothing, just new lines.

In my previous linux installations the bash auto-completion has always worked without problems. If I wanted to do anything to files, giving a prefix of the filename and pressing tabulator listed all that matched the prefix but it also repeated the prompt below it with my command and prefix, so that I could immediately continue typing.

Now I have updated my system to kubuntu 18.04 and the auto-completion doesn't work as fluently anymore. What is even stranger, the behaviour is unpredictable like it depended on the konsole. If the command is less, it works always correctly (as described above), but if the command is cp or mv, the behaviour varies. Sometimes it works correctly, but often it shows a list of matching files with more (hiding my prompt) and I have to type q to exit more and be able to continue. A small thing, but annoying since it requires extra typing.

I see that .bashrc calls /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion but I haven't done any changes to this.

Question: What causes this unpredictable behaviour? How can I fix it?

I use openconnect in Ubuntu 16.04 terminally, when I want to run it, I need to enter three phases:

• "yes/no"
• "username"
• "password"

How can I bypass above phases using openconnect in a line (e.g. using openconnect options)?
Are there any options for that such as the following line?

sudo openconnect <server-name> --user=<'username'> --pass=<'password'>

I used openconnect --help and found out a way to filling username, but I haven't any idea to filling password and SSL verification.

For a week or so, the Ctrl+C mapping does not send an interrupt, but opens a new tab with another profile. It might have happend around the time when there were updates for all KDE software.

I start with a single tab with the Solarized color scheme:

Then I press Ctrl+C and get a new tab with a different profile:

However, if I press Ctrl+Shift+C, I get the interrupt:

In the settings, it seems all fine:

How can I get it back to have Ctrl+C send an interrupt and Ctrl+Shift+C copy text?

I want to open a new Konsole tab with my keyboard. Is there a shortcut for that?
