KDE Konsole keyboard configuration
In my attempts to make short work of a program I decided to configure a couple of the function keys to enter commands for me. I go to settings->edit profile->keyboard->edit and a nice screen comes up to edit keyboard things. I scroll down to the function key, and enter a command in the output side of the window. This all works fine UNTIL I put a '*' in the output section. For some (good, I assume) reason this '*' character gets translated to a number that relates to the modifier (shift, control, alt, ...) that I have pressed. I assume that this is necessary, but I WANT A '*' to be emitted. Is there some escape (I've tried many) that will allow me to emit a '*' character. I tried \x2a, nope. \*, nope.
If people are interested, the modfiiers produce:
Window - 1
Shift - 2
Alt - 3
Shift, Alt - 4
Control - 5
Shift, Control - 6
I thought this was going to be simple!
