Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Konsole by launching pwsh, enabling ListView, and pressing Alt+A, using the provided PSReadLine and Linux environment details. Determine whether the shortcut reaches PSReadLine or is consumed by Konsole; the issue is done when the ownership is established and a documented fix or workaround is verified.

Description

Needs-Triage :mag:

I have installed Powershell in my Kde Neon terminal, "Konsole". And although some of the keyboard shortcuts for PSReadline works the shortcut that interests me the most for "SelectCommandargument" does not work.
When I press these keys, only the Konsole menu opens. I've tried removing global shortcuts from kde and personal shortcuts from Konsole but I still can't get "alt+a" to work.
If someone has faced this problem before and has made those keys work for a Linux distribution with Wayland, I would like to know how to do it.
