Description Vincent Panel 2006-07-26 17:10:31 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

I wish konsole saved your screen on session exit and show you exactly the same screen on session startup.

Even more interesting, the last input on the command-line should be recalled (even if not executed yet, if it has been executed, it could be recalled too).

For instance, if my session ends while I have typed 'find -nam' on the command-line, I would get the exact same command-line recalled when I reopen my session next time. if my session ends in the middle of a find command like 'find -name "whatever"\n', it could be recalled on my next session (without being executed...).

FWIW, You could probably do something similar with 'screen'[1], provided that konsole detached the screen session on logout, and reattached to it on login.

Good idea, I would like this as well.

Cryopid is a bit too much for this feature : i don't want to suspend anything, just print the screen as I saw it last time. It's just a big "echo" of your terminal characters.

I tried a screen session, but I can't see my screen back when I log on. In the configuration of the "screen session", the only command run is "screen" : are you sure it should reattach to your previous screen session ? Should I add an option or modify my .screenrc ?

There is a more advanced form of this request here:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58868

This should probably be marked a duplicate of that.

For reference, screen --help will tell you that you can reattach with screen -r. screen -ls will show you available sessions, and screen -RR -D or something like that will either create a session if none is available or grab one if there is one available
