Description Steffen Weber 2012-09-20 08:12:24 UTC

I'm the administrator of a few Linux servers that are configured more or less identically. I log into them using SSH and issue more or less the same commands when installing updates. Konsole's feature "Copy Input To -> All Tabs in Current Window" has proven very useful for me.

I've written a bash script that automates the process of opening a suitable number of Konsole tabs and executing the correct "ssh [server-ip]" command in each tab. The bash script uses the utility "qdbus" for this task.

However, Konsole does not seem to provide a dbus method to enable the "Copy Input To All Tabs in Current Window" feature. Would it be possible to add such a method?

Reproducible: Always

Sounds like a valid need and doable to me.

Comment 2 Steffen Weber 2013-01-12 19:13:07 UTC

Hacky workaround: xdotool key "ctrl+shift+F10" "Right" "I" "A"

Implemented DBus methods for copying input to other sessions

Implemented methods which allow input to be copied to no other
session and to all sessions. In addition, users can also select
exactly which sessions to copy input to by passing a list of
Session ids. Calling supporting method copyingSessions() on a
session lists other sessions which are copying input from it.
Calling supporting method feederSessions() on a session lists
other sessions it is copying input from.
