Konsole: keybinding to a sequence of actions (lemmy.today)

Anyone knows how to add a key-binding in konsole that binds a key combination to a sequence of actions?

Maybe, this could be achieved via a script?

In my case, I just want a key-binding to switch to a certain tab and send the command !! (last used command). This is super-useful while developing. I can do the first action with standard konsole keybinding and the second action using a qdbus command. I don't know how to put them together...

Soo... If we could figure out how to do the first one via DBus/from the command line, you could put both in a script and bind that to a (global or so) shortcut, and be set. (?)

What qdbus command line exactly are you using to post input to the shell within Konsole?

I'll have a look later when I'm at my desktop again (and hopefully will remember).

The thing is that the qdbus command only works from inside the terminal, because it needs to know the correct konsole instance. Anyway, I moved to alacritty because the konsole support for ANSI codes is terrible...

Qdbus command: qdbus $KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE $KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION runCommand "!!"
