"It is up to the shell when it writes or reads its history file."

Konsole does not have command history. (It has scrollback, but I don't 
think that is what you are talking about?)

Wrong. Each *bash instance* has its own history that may be stored in 
ram until the shell exits, at which point that history is written to 
~/.bash_history. AFAIK this behavior can be changed, but it still has 
nothing to do with Konsole, which is just* a terminal emulator.

(* meaning, Konsole does not have some "magic connection" to the shell 
being run in a tab.)
