            Bug ID: 462556
           Summary: Increase default scollback history size
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 22.08.3
          Platform: Archlinux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: history
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: openmail+kde at siezi.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

Konsole's default scrollback fixed size is currently set to 1000 lines.

Personally I always have to increase that number to perform just mundane tasks
like updating the system at the CLI and keep track of what happened.
Anecdotally I heard the same from others.

It seems that 1000 is the default for 15 years now [1]. Considering the
increase of available, physical RAM over the last 15 years maybe doubling the
default could offer a considerable UX-benefit while not be too taxing on
contemporary system?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole on the default profile or create a new profile

OBSERVED RESULT

Profile -> Scrolling -> Scollback -> Fixed size: is set to 1000 lines

EXPECTED RESULT

Profile -> Scrolling -> Scollback -> Fixed size: is set to 2000(+?) lines
