Bug Description

Binary package hint: konsole-kde4

I would like to see the feature in konsole:
When you want to detach a konsole session if you have two or more in one Window, you just drag it outside the window.
ATM it is just possible to change the order of the konsole session tabs with drag&drop, but not to detach it.

Perfect would be the other way too - to drag a konsole window into another konsole, and the two merge to one window, having two shell tabs.

Hi,
Someone already made a report of this in the past (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16201) and there was a quick answer.
But I have a konsole started with more than 1 shell doing lots of stuff. And I want to see them next to each other, so that I can watch them both at the same time.
How wonderful would it be to drag the little shell(monitor) icon, so that a separate konsole exists. It's something like dragging the toolbar.

Regards,
Edwin

The wish is, to make drag&drop possible for shell detaching.
I know that you can do it with right click->detach, but drag and drop would be fine.
drag&drop works now for KDE4, but not to outside the shell/detaching.

( I just wanted to file a new bug for this in KDE4 - and although this bug report here is for konsole 1.2 ind KDE3.1.9, KDE4 has v2.1, the real wish - dragging - is still not fixed)

Hello there,

Kubuntu currently does not have the manpower necessary to implement this feature as a distribution, so we are closing this report. Worry not, though, because your wish item is still being tracked by KDE at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56749 . Once KDE implements this feature, we will include it in the Kubuntu release which contains the KDE version the feature was implemented in.

Thanks for understanding, and have a nice day.

Is there any special advantage of d&d when compared with detach, except it is really cool ?

Yes. Usability. D&D is intuitive. Right click -> Detach means two clicks. Gnome-terminal does this neatly (except reattaching).

Google's browser chromium does this neatly - and perfectly.
