[konsole] [Bug 408775] New: Do not close/destroy tab when closing view

[Tomaz Canabrava]

I understand the issue here and I'll provide a patch for that.

There's no need to drag windows, you can navigate with the keyboard.

splitting doesn't opens a new tab, why do you belive so?

If there are two or more tabs, leave the active tab in the current view and

Can you ellaborate on that? from what you explained I don't see how this
could be userfriendly.
I Implemented the split views as it's done in Terminator and Tilix (and
those are currently most used than konsole for userfriendlyness)

I'll add the check for running programms.

Tabs should *always* be closed by the user, _actively_.

Tabs are only closed by the users, the only way to close a tab withotu
explicit user is to close the *last* terminal inside of a tab. I can't have
terminals with nothing inside.

For the rest (the mirror mode that you seem keen on using it again) - I'm
not against it but the implementation was broken so I replaced by the
current split code. I'm just one developer and I would happily add the
split mode again, if well developed. Patches welcome.
