Description Daniel Andersen 2004-06-08 02:37:37 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

It would be nice to have a command line option when starting konsole to open the session in an existing konsole, as it is difficult to make keyboard shortcuts to do so at the moment. Currently i am managing this via 
dcop `dcop | grep konsole | tail -n 1` konsole newSession "SessionName"
but it would be easier if this functionality was built in.

What do you want to do?

To open a new session in the konsole that you are currently using you can use:
	dcop $KONSOLE_DCOP newSession "Session name"
Comment 2 Daniel Andersen 2004-06-18 02:19:15 UTC 
No I was thinking of something more along the lines of the "Open as tab in existing konqueror when URL is called externally". That is, when you open a new konsole it will open in an existing konsole if one exists, otherwise in a new window.

A good idea actually, this would reduce the amount of konsole on my desktop atleast;-)
Comment 4 Kurt Hindenburg 2005-03-05 11:46:56 UTC 
You want konsole to perhaps/configurable be an unique application, like KMail?  See #79243
Comment 5 Daniel Andersen 2005-03-31 01:15:01 UTC 
Yes precisely. That would do the job nicely. I'll add a vote to that bug as well.

Duplicate of another report, although this one does mention having a command-line option which the other does not.
