I recently migrated from Gnome to KDE. Gnome was my first and only Linux desktop environment. In Gnome terminal dynamic word wrapping was already implemented by default. I don't see that in KDE Plasma. Is there a ready-to-use or easy to implement dynamic word wrapping for KDE Konsole?

Dynamic word wrapping in Konsole has been requested for ages… (2009)!!
The request was eventually satisfied a dozen of years later and released in Konsole 21.04
Therefore the only way to get dynamic word wrapping is… to upgrade konsole to >=21.04
Upgrade which will request the upgrade of the kde-frameworks and qt* packages and consequently the upgrade of the whole lot of plasma-desktop & kde-apps packages.
Some versions of some distributions might not, to date, allow that.

I use Debian without any extra (no Ubuntu or Kubuntu etc) and in Debian database there doesn't seem to be the latest Konsole version..– JacksonMar 4 at 13:54

@Jackson : Just realizing that too. packages.debian.org/search?keywords=konsole It seems you'd have to "upgrade" to bookworm . Too many things depend on the qt* packages. Making almost nothing of the whole kde framework updateable separatrly.– MC68020Mar 4 at 14:09

I've been trying to open
gnome-terminalin/usr/bin/directory in KDE but when I double-click it, nothing happens. Is there any way to make gnome terminal as the default terminal emulator in KDE?– JacksonMar 4 at 20:24 -
@Jackson : You could try via kde-plasma system-settings > Applications > Default Applications. In my plasma 5.25.5, this place offers un scrolldown menu for setting default Terminal emulator– MC68020Mar 4 at 21:07
apt updateshows nothing to upgrade... Is something wrong with my system?
