Description Francois 2010-02-14 20:00:13 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Kate/Kdevelop have both the ability to have one (for Kate) or more (for kdevelop) konsole(s). 

This feature request is to extend the kate's konsole tool to a concept similar of  what's is available in Emacs with the shell, eshell or ansi-term packages.

The spirit is to use the power and the ergonomics of the buffers management system (Split Views, Switch to a specific buffer, etc) but for buffers running a shell in a konsole like widget. 

Something like this with 5 split views:

A text buffer         | A konsole like buffer (N° 1)
with some code (N° 1) | running a shell 
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Another  Konsole   |  Another text Buffer |  Another text buffer
like buffer (N° 2) |  (N° 2)              |  (N° 3) 


Cheers
Francois

I would close this as duplicate of bug #180770

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

Comment 2 Mathieu Jobin 2016-05-19 11:30:27 UTC

there is a konsole fork that implements split panes

https://github.com/xliiv/konsole-multi-terminal/tree/kde5port

for kate/konsole splits, I use kwin's excellent split technology.

just drag a window to the side/corner.

Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last year and no contributor stepped up to implement it.

The Kate/KTextEditor team is small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs.

Therefore wishes that show no activity for a years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users.
If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it.

If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind,
if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it,
it will expire in a year again.

We have a nice website https://kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it.

Patches can be handed in via https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
