(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konsole
Version:           1.0.2 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.9
OS/Compiler notes: 

A handy feature that saves time and mouse
clicks -- a 'clone window' feature -- 
It duplicates the size and fonts settings of
the current window -- not using saved
defaults.

Not only does this save the time in reseting
fonts font size and window dimensions if you
want another window of the same type but
it's ergonomically better -- right click move
and let go and a new window placed just
slightly off center diagonally from the old
and mouse in new window.

Currently have to move to menu move
visually locate correct icon move icon
in second direction perpendicular to first 
then click on button then wait for new window
to appear then move to the window to type.

So it would be 1 right click and hold move
and release vs. 3 moves and a click. :-)

thanks and hope you like
the suggestion...

This is quite old; even before konsole had tabs.  I'm not sure the reporter wants 'Duplicate Window' or 'Duplicate Tab'

Comment 3 soloturn99 2005-01-23 20:00:55 UTC
it should be very simple to get a new (same) window. if it is very simple to get a new (same content) tab too it would be great.

This is a quite old wish. How should the request been interpreted in the context of KDE4 konsole ?

" a 'clone window' feature -- It duplicates the size and fonts settings of the current window"

In KDE4 konsole, size is shared by all tabs in on window, but font setting is per tab/profile.
Comment 7 Jekyll Wu 2011-10-12 13:51:42 UTC
Close it due to its unclear meaning in the context of KDE4 konsole.
