It would technically be possible to have the logical screen size wider than 
the visible screen size but many applications running in konsole will then 
try to use the full width of the logical screen size which may cause more 
problems than it is worth. A significant portion of these applications will 
then not be visible.

An alternative could be to use a large logical screen size but report the 
visible screen size to the applications running in konsole, but I think that 
that will cause many applications, including the command shell, to 
miscalculate the position of text, leading to very broken input-line 
behavior.

I don't think konsole can offer any usable solutions in this area.

Cheers,
