-it makes ctrl-backspace delete the prev word by making it input C-w.
-Note: keybindings name is specified in profile file, filename.keytab, and at the top of that file.
+Note: non-keybind konsole profile changes should be manually duplicated

+more compatible with profanity: it will show historical PM messages in a
+light color instead of an unreadable black.

+To see what changes I made in ian.keytab, do a diff with
+default.keytab.orig. (I also sorted the file). Konsole ignores files not
+named *.keytab. I changed the name of the in the default keybind profile
+file to include trisquel11-iank just to avoid any confusion.
 
 The \E[4d etc were found without exaplanation in a random stackoverflow
 comment. It seems to just be an unused and useful pattern, where d could
 be any letter. I set them with +AppScreen, but they don't necessarily
 need to be, its just thats the only place I use them, and maybe more
-useful to have the duplicates working outside of emacs.
+useful to have the duplicates working outside of emacs. AppScreen
+modifier means that the keybind only works within a program like emacs
+which takes over scroll back, per
+https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/konsole/konsole/key-bindings.html.

+Historical note about change no longer in ian.keytab:
+I saved that in case konsole updates the defaults, which
+happened. Originally saved in 2019, to fix control-backspace not working
+because it wasn't bound to anything, it just emited backspace. I fixed
+it by setting it to ^W, because bash binds ^W to unix-word-rubout. But in 2023 I ran profanity which uses
+readline, and control-backspace didn't work. Poking around, I figured
+out that konsole defaults had been updated to make control-backspace emit ^H, and sakura worked the same, detected by running
+running "stty -icanon; cat" per
+http://www.linusakesson.net/programming/tty/index.php . So, it seems better to set ^H to unix-word-rubout in .inputrc than change the key in konsole.
