Description Dennis P. Nikolaenko 2006-12-06 15:44:26 UTC
Version:           1.6.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

A keystroke such as Ctl-Tab and Ctl-Shift-Tab could be used to switch to previous and next tabs in the "last used" list of tabs, jut like Alt-Tab does for windows. Drawing a list of tabs would be also helpfull.
This feature could save a lot of time for those of us who have more than 10 sessions open in the same konsole window and havae to switch back and forth between sessions.
My usage shows that I switch between two or three of the opened sessions frequently. I cannot move these sessions closer to each other to use the normal previous/next shortcuts, because the two or three tabs are not the same all the time.

I like the suggestion.  Easier management of many open sessions are a goal for Konsole in KDE 4.
Comment 2 Robert Knight 2008-05-22 02:45:40 UTC
I had a go at implementing this as suggested.  I found it very confusing to work with.  I also think it might not be necessary any more because of the split view feature which makes it possible to view several sessions in the same window at the same time.

For example, if you have two tabs open, each running ssh connected to a different machine and you want to compare files on each then pressing Ctrl+Shift+T splits the view top/bottom and you can then see what is happening in both sessions at the same time.

As mentioned in comment #2, I tried to implement this feature but felt that it really did not work well and was unnecessary given KDE 4's split view feature.
