Description nagytam 2003-06-30 15:37:19 UTC

Version:           CVS (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Application view should accept keyboard input, in order to allow to debug interactive console applications...

The console apps currently gets into an endless loop at the first input ...

Comment 1 nagytam 2003-06-30 15:41:07 UTC

WORKAROUND: 
Project Options | Debugger | Enable separate terminal for app I/O <- ON 
 
Anyway, would be nice to do it without a separate terminal...

As a bug, this is a dupe of the closed http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55717. 
 
The question is: should the application view support input? I'm changing this to a 
wishlist item for now.

Comment 3 nagytam 2003-06-30 17:27:53 UTC

Or the question is, how useable the application view if a separate terminal I/O 
is required for an interactive console app??? 
In current state KDevelop should warn the user that it is for output-only as 
long as input is not supported... Otherwise the console app is blocked!

Comment 4 Vladimir Prus 2006-04-27 16:48:11 UTC

The debugger option mentioned above only works for debugging. I think that features supported for running and for debugging should not differ at all, though I'm not sure if that's reasonable to try embedding full-blown terminal emulator in the "application" window.

Comment 5 Andreas Pakulat 2008-06-29 15:38:33 UTC

As we can now (KDE4) open multiple konsole view's its not unreasonable to allow running/debugging apps just use a konsole as outputview. Of course the debugger would need some extra handling as the terminal interface is different from QProcess for sending/receiving data.

closing as duplicate of 146194 as that has a lot more ideas how to interact.
