Perhaps a tooltip explaining how to use stty stop and stty start would be
nice? Or much better - some way to set it in the Konsole setup. Personally,
I usually have a "stty stop ^P" in my .bash_login since "Pause" is a nice
mnemonic, and ^S is used for saving in most other (GUI) applications.
Of couse, I also have named screen sessions for my "sessions" in Konsole -
instead of bash or something like that, try setting up a sesson named foobar
and set it to run "screen -dRS foobar" (where foobar is unique per shell).
That allows you to maintain your commandline programs running even while
you're logged out. I also have a few sessions that are "repeat ssh
evan at myserver" where repeat is a little utility I wrote that executes the
commandline over and over. It keeps me logged into my servers (and I have
nifty little icons for each of them).
I also color code my shells - black on light yellow for a local session,
black on light blue for a remote session, and black on light pink for a root
console, either local or remote. Very pale colors, but it helps me orient
myself. I also have one last spare one that is green on black. I toss
processes into the background in that one (running X programs or mpg123, for
instance), in case they spit stuff to stderr. Plus I know which screen to
detach and reconnect to if I ever need to log in and change a running
process.
Incidently, isn't functionality like screen (in terms of saving state)
going to be in 3.1 or so? I heard rumors...
