how do I make it so that Konsole is visible in launchers?

hello, I can't seem to find Konsole through Start menu search or Ulauncher, despite being able to open it. How can I fix that? (inb4 "how did you open it then": gnome terminal -> "konsole" -> pin to taskbar; I'd like to be able to open it with a launcher though)
Solution:
well good news for you, konsole will be removed in next stable because we do not use it, meaning it wont be hidden by default

:C a bit of offtopic, but would you recommend any alternative that uses GTK? I would just like to have something that'd use cattpuccin(can't seem to install gnome-tweaks or force cattpuccin on GNOME in any way)

we use ptyxis thats our default terminal and the only one we support and whats used by almost all of us as it integrates with containers

but for completeness sake if you want to unhide it now, find the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications and copy it to ~/.local/share/applications and unhide it by editing the .desktop file

I found the thread where there is gnome-tweaks installation procedure listed and I believe this'll resolve the issue that pushed me to look for an alternative terminal emulator thanks though!

the flatpak always says its running within flatpak-spawn, can that cause issues for the shell?

Not that I know of, I don't use konsole as I like my container integration
