The KDE 5 terminal emulator Konsole has a great feature Split View that allows me to make full use of my big monitor. However, I cannot find a way to use keyboard shortcuts, rather than clicking mouse, to switch between the active views (see: The Konsole Handbook). This apparently reduces the work efficiency. Anyone has an idea how to enable this? Thanks a lot in advance.

What works on version 19.08.2 is Ctrl+Shift+Arrow. You can use up, down, left, right as required.

Ctrl+Tab can be used to switch between all views including in other tabs. It is like Alt+Tab of window managers that you can switch between last ones relasing the Ctrl and using this shortcut again.

the shortcuts are called Focus (Above|Below|Left|Right) Terminal. by default they are mapped to Ctrl+Shift+Arrows.
to change these shortcuts, go to Settings -> Configure Keyboard Shortcuts -> Search for "focus".

Shift+Right/Shift+Left should work to navigate between the Konsole tabs.

shift + tab worked for me to switch across multiple tabs that are open in an active split-view screen on a Konsole application in CentOS versions > 6.x
