Version: 1.6 (using KDE 3.5.1, Debian Package 4:3.5.1-3 (testing/unstable)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15nv In some editing apps, if you click on one spot, scroll around a while, and then hold shift while clicking again, that defines the start and end points of a region to mark in the text, which you can copy into the clipboard. I really wish that worked in Konsole - I often have large amounts of scollback I'd like to copy and paste into an editor, and it's so tedious to click and drag. I'd like to be able to click a spot, scroll down to the bottom of the konsole scrollbar, and shift-click, to mark from that point to the bottom of the scrollback buffer. Then copy.
Why has it to be shift-click? What's wrong with right click and "Set Selection End"?
Ah - didn't notice that. nice that I can do it that way too. i never looked for that in the context menu before since the shift-click works in most other view widgets. I suppose it would be nice to have shift-click do the same thing...
rxvt-unicode and vte-based emulators have this feature. I find it quite handy. And, the "Set Selection End" is unfortunately gone in KDE4 konsole(bug 181986), so we'd better either get that action back or implement this feature.
