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...).

Just saw this the other day.... likely what would work...

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.

Comment 4 Vincent Panel 2006-08-08 08:32:25 UTC

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
