Version: 1.6.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu18 dapper) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-23-k7 I working as a sysadmin and I am logging in to various unix-systems. Working with different linuxes and unices very often needs to modify the settings of konsole. (i.e. if you open a konsole on a utf8-enabled system an login to a iso8859-1-enabled system by using ssh) A mechanism to store and restore a set of settings would be a very cool thing. These settings should be callable by: - a menu item - a hotkey - a regular expression on the window title (i.e set by PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"') Thanks for wring this great application.
Hello, Which settings in particular do you need to be able to modify?
It would be nice to store all settings which are made in the settings/preferences menu. In my opinion encoding, color scheme and keyboard-type are the most important options for this feature.
I think I have implemented what you are after in KDE 4. You can create sets of settings called profiles, which can be applied to a running session by selecting the profile from the session's context menu. Hotkeys can be defined to create new sessions, but not at the moment to change an existing session to use a particular profile. The "regular expression on window title" item mentioned is not implemented, but there are other bug reports open for that.
Cool thanks :-) The hotkey feature would be also very welcome, because the prevents users to use the mouse.... Where can i find the mentioned source and how can i compile it to testdrive it ?
If you want to build everything from source the instructions for KDE 4 are here: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started Konsole is part of the kdebase module, building of which is covered in the instructions. Alternatively, the first beta release of KDE 4 will be happening at the end of the month if I remember correctly ( 25th June was the target ) and I presume that the major distributions will start providing ready-to-run KDE 4 packages. OpenSuSE offers weekly-snapshot builds of KDE 4 from the build service: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE4 There are live CDs and packages of KDE 4 Alpha 1, but these don't include the new Konsole, and a lot has happened since they were built.
