Hi, 

I was wondering if you could provide a 'free-style keyboard navigation' mode for konsole.

For example if we press a key (e.g. ctrl+/) and the keyboard could be freed from the prompt line and the user could go to any particular line by pressing the navigation keys (up/down/left/right/pg up/down, home/end) and then select a text by pressing shift+any navigation key.

A new key like (ESC) could get the user out of the free-style navigation mode.

This could save the user from going to the mouse for a text selection.

thanks
