Bug ID: 455143<br>
Summary: Feature Request: Expanded JSON Layout Configuration<br>

Konsole Session Generated example JSON<br>
<br>
It appears that currently, Konsole only supports the number and orientation of<br>
window splits in a JSON file format with the --layout commandline option. While<br>
most of the features requested below can be controlled for automation purposes<br>
with dbus, using dbus commands requires a steeper learning curve for the end<br>
user, creates issues with portability between systems, and can cause issues<br>
with script readability (one user writes a bash script one way, while other<br>
people might write it another). There are additional security concerns with the<br>
runCommand and sendText dbus methods, though Konsole already supports executing<br>
commands in a new session with the '-e' option. These issues can be alleviated<br>
by exposing more of Konsole's configuration and commandline options via JSON.<br>
<br>
My suggestion/feature request is to expand the JSON configuration to encompass<br>
the following:<br>
Publicly exposed DBus methods and properties for the 'org.kde.konsole'<br>
endpoint:<br>
- org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle<br>
- org.kde.konsole.Session.setTabTitleFormat<br>
- - There are two Title and TabTitleFormat properties controlled by the above<br>
two methods. I've accounted for this in my example below<br>
- org.kde.konsole.Session.setProfile<br>
- org.kde.konsole.Session.sendText<br>
- org.kde.konsole.Session.runCommand<br>
Split pane sizing with either "HEIGHTxWIDTH" or separate HEIGHT and WIDTH<br>
properties.<br>
Window configurations such as window size and view-enabled plugins.<br>
<br>
The JSON formatting should be easy and simple to read and configure, and KDE<br>
Konsole documentation should be updated to include its usage. To assist in ease<br>
of formatting and standardization, I propose having all splits be separated by<br>
their left-right (horizontal) top-bottom (vertical) orientation (current<br>
behavior) to include the first split (Konsole Session 1. Not current behavior,<br>
as there is just a first '"Orientation": "Horizontal"' for the beginning of the<br>
first split). Additionally, all Konsole window settings, such as Window size,<br>
should be declared at the top of the JSON config file.<br>
<br>
An example of what this JSON configuration file might look like is below:<br>
<br>
{<br>
"WindowSize" : "Maximized",<br>
"Plugins": ["SSHManager", "Plugin2"],<br>
"Splits": [ <br>
{ <br>
# First Split on far left<br>
# session 1<br>
"Orientation": "Horizontal", <br>
"SessionRestoreId": 0,<br>
"TabTitleLocal": "Local Tab Title"<br>
}, <br>
{ <br>
# Second split to right<br>
"Orientation": "Vertical", <br>
"Widgets": [ <br>
{ <br>
# Top<br>
# session 2<br>
"SessionRestoreId": 0,<br>
"TabTitleFormatLocal": "%d : %n"<br>
}, <br>
{ <br>
# Bottom<br>
# session 3<br>
"SessionRestoreId": 0,<br>
"TabTitleFormatRemote": "%U%H"<br>
} <br>
] <br>
}, <br>
{ <br>
# Third split to right<br>
# session 4<br>
"SessionRestoreId": 0, <br>
"TabTitleRemote": "Remote Tab Title",<br>
"Profile": "KonsoleProfile1"<br>
}, <br>
{ <br>
# Fourth Split to far right<br>
"Orientation": "Vertical", <br>
"Widgets": [ <br>
{ <br>
# top<br>
# session 5<br>
"SessionRestoreId": 0,<br>
"SendText": "# echo send text"<br>
}, <br>
{ <br>
# middle<br>
# session 6<br>
"SessionRestoreId": 0,<br>
"RunCommand": "echo run command"<br>
}, <br>
{ <br>
# bottom<br>
# session 7<br>
"SessionRestoreId": 0,<br>
"PaneSize": "64x30"<br>
} <br>
] <br>
} <br>
] <br>
}<br>
