And of course the possibility for adding a shortcut. I need to do this pretty often.

I vote for this wish.

My (avorted) duplicate wish :
When I am in Konqueror, I can choose "Open in a terminale  Ctrl+T". It's very
useful.
I propose to add "Open in Konqueror" or "Open in a file manager" (if KDE will
provide an "Application Provider", so we can choose which file manager we want,
as we can choose which brother we want, see usability mailing list). It will be
very useful.

So if you are at /usr/src in konsole and you 'session->Open Konq from here' you want konq to open at file:/usr/src ??

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94075 might be somewhat related to this... which will likely be in KDE4.0 in some form.

Yes, somewhat related.
But it's not so pretty to first select the current dir and then search for "open > the URL".

If I understand it, since I have "[seb@localhost seb]$", I can select "seb" and it would automatically know that it means /home/seb/.

Hum, not an expectable behaviour.
I was just wanting the mirror feature that Konqueror have : Konqy can "Open current dir in Konsole". "Open current dir in Konqueror" would be just fine in Konsole, without have to trick some dark features, IMHO.

Under some circumstances and in some environments, Konsole can tell which directory the shell is at. That's how it knows to restore the shell to the directory it was in when logging back in.

That same feature could be used to add an entry to the context menu.

If you want something when you select text (such as pathname being displayed), that's a Klipper issue instead. And all you have to do is add a new action.

The way http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94075 works is slightly different to the way you have described it (though it can work that way too). If you right-click on the konsole window (with nothing selected) the pop-up menu will offer to open your current workding directory in konqueror. So it does provide the functionality you are looking for - though perhaps not in a totally intuitive manner.

Agreeing with the original point and extra comment #4:

I was about to ask for the same thing.  A gui file-manager and a shell have their own advantages in different situations.  Being able to get a "konsole" already set to the current directory of konqueror just by pressing F4 is very useful.
Perhaps konsole could use F4 to open konqueror in the shell's pwd -- that would be nice reciprocity.

The patches to do with adding options for selected text sound very good, but I still think this one-key way would be good, for reasons of increased speed, no need to use a mouse, and a more beautiful symmetry...


alias fm='konqueror `pwd` 1>/dev/null 2>&1 &'
will of course make a less functional (can't be done while another process is running in the foreground) temporary substitute until the patches get into the mainstrem kde.

proposed patch (SVN)

Here's a proposed patch that implements this wish by using KRun. I will apply
it if no objections are risen.

Hi Constantin,

Tested, please commit.  I want to keep the context menu fairly short so this might be moved to a sub-menu in future (eg. 'Actions' / 'Advanced') if further items need to be added.

Implemented by Constantin Berzan, commit #712078
