Description JWC 2009-08-15 18:31:59 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

It would be very nice to see full tiling support in Konsole so that it would be possible to create advanced tiling setups.  For example, currently, ctrl+t opens up a new horizontal tile below the current view, and pressing ctrl+l afterwards arranges all three views (the two existing ones and the new one) vertically.

However, it would be nice to see the above set of keystrokes first create a horizontal view and then split that bottom horizontal view into two vertical views.  This kind of support is seen in some tiling window managers and other programs that support advanced working environments (Vim, Emacs, etc.).

I too would find this feature very usefull. I'd be happy to try and implement it. I'll give it a try.

I would really like to see layout and profile functionality like in Terminator (http://gnometerminator.blogspot.co.uk/p/introduction.html). Konsole is in many ways much more advanced than Terminator but proper layout and profile feature is still missing.

I would close this as duplicate of bug #180770

what we want is a Terminator/iTerm2 clone with Konsole backend.

Hi Guys,

I am still working on this: https://github.com/vincepii/konsole-multi-terminal (check the screenshot here: https://github.com/vincepii/konsole-multi-terminal/blob/master/screenshot1.png), which is a Terminator-like implementation for konsole.

At the moment creating/removing multi-terminals works quite fine and I recently also added support to "clone" the multi-terminals when one uses the old "split view" functionality.

Remaining things to do are support detaching tabs and merge the current main line on that fork.

Tu support tabs detaching I have to change again the design, so it will take some time.
