It would be very nice to have tmux ‘back’ yakuake. Namely, let yakuake tabs be tmux windows and yakuake split screens correspond to tmux split screens. It seems this is possible using ‘control mode’: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/tmux.1.html#CONTROL_MODE It has been implemented in iTerm2 for Mac: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/wikis/TmuxIntegration It would be more convenient to use than tmux itself (better KDE integration) and provides an extra layer in case of window manager/X/yakuake crashes.
This would of course also be nice for Konsole. I don’t know if Konsolepart provides the tabs or they’re implemented differently between Yakuake and Konsole, which would make the difference between filing a new bug for Konsole or moving this one to Konsolepart.
I agree with Phil, that this has a higher chance to happen in Konsole(part) than in Yakuake. There doesn't seem to be a separate bug component for konsolepart, so moving to Konsole.
Konsole now already have feature to split view (the tab contents) into parts horizontally and vertically, like tmux, so seems integration is possible.
This looks interesting, but I lack the time to implement. Any of you would like to start?
This would be really nice to have in konsole. I've used this functionality on iTerm2 on a mac, and it works really nicely. Especially for keeping state.
+1 From my point of view, tmux integration is Mac's "killer feature" that Linux lacks. I would love to see this get implemented.
macOS does not have the feature. iTerm does.
You are correct, but iterm2 only works on Mac. So it doesn't make a difference as far as I'm concerned.
FWIW I started using shpool instead of tmux: 1. Installed shpool on remote machine. 2. Configured custom Konsole profile with the "Shell" parameter set to a script the connects via ssh and attaches/creates another shpool session (similar to https://github.com/shell-pool/shpool?tab=readme-ov-file#shell-function ) rather than bash. It's not as good as tmux integration, but at least it's faster to open a new shell in a new Konsole tab that if every new tab needed to make a new ssh connection. I also use local tty-based sessions (https://github.com/shell-pool/shpool?tab=readme-ov-file#shell-function) in the configuration because losing network connection is rare in my experience.
Check out my Konsole fork that only works as a tmux client https://github.com/futpib/kmux, not upstreamable, but does provide me the Konsole UX with tmux backend which is all I wanted from a hypothetical Konsole tmux integration really

Created attachment 193259 [details] attachment-1141648-0.html The code in your repository looks to mostly be AI generated. That's not necessarily a criticism, but does it work well? It would be nice if it was in a state where you can raise a PR to the upstream so it can go through the rigors of an official release cycle. I use konsole heavily for work and I can't really use something that hasn't been vetted by the project's maintainers.
