Version: (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages I have to have a lot of terminals (20+) open at the same time for monitoring and easy access of servers I manage. It'd make things a lot easier to organize and navigate (not to mention see) if I could organize tabs into groups, and only see tabs that belong to the current group in the tab bar. Basically, the same functionality as Firefox tab groups, but for Konsole.

To some extent, putting the tabs into separate windows accomplishes this. You can drag and drop tags between Konsole windows as necessary.
Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't work out too well for me. Instead of having one cluttered Konsole instance, I ended up with either a cluttered toolbar, or all the Konsole instances grouped into one icon on the toolbar which means a click to see what I have open. With tab groups: a.) You wouldn't have a half dozen konsole instances in my taskbar (if I want them to be visible), or grouped (in which case I have to click to see which konsole window I actually want) b.) Access to keyboard shortcuts to only flip through tab groups, instead of having to alt+tab my way through all of my open apps when I want to switch, to move tab groups around in the bar for organization purposes (much like I can do with tabs now)
I'd be in favor of this if there were (a) shortcuts to open tabs within the group, and (b) I could have an expanded view of the current tab group visible in the tab bar.
I see that this will be useful for anyone who works with number of terminals. Is there any reason why this feature is not considered yet?
