Konsole is a terminal emulator for the KDE desktop.

## Installation

Install the konsole package.

## Troubleshooting

### True-color programs do not display correctly

This is because by default, konsole does not set the right `TERM` variable. To set it, either edit your konsole profile or make a new one:

    ~/.local/share/konsole/konsole.profile

    [General]
    Name=konsole
    Environment=TERM=konsole-direct,COLORTERM=truecolor

Note: Some programs may not work correctly with `konsole-direct` as `TERM`. If so, use `konsole-256color` instead.
