Description Sterling Christensen 2010-09-19 08:13:16 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I would like to be able to check a box to make konsole (and yakuake) behave like this:
1. If I scroll up and then type a letter, scroll back to the bottom.
2. If I scroll up and then paste some text, DO NOT scroll. Keep viewing this part of the scrollback buffer in case I want to copy+paste something else.

This is the way gnome-terminal works, and it's very convenient. For example: suppose your package manager outputs a list of packages you could update, but you want to update some and not all of them. So you paste together a command line to do that. This can save you from having to repeatedly scroll back up to copy the next package name.

Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
Pasting causes you to lose your place, so you have to scroll back up and find it again.

Expected Results:  
Paste should optionally not cause scrolling.

That's fine for a desktop, but akward on a netbook with a very low resolution screen. I've experienced this feature with gnome-terminal and it really is more convenient than working with two windows.
