           Summary: Add specialty shell windows
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandrake RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bratwizard at yahoo.com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

One of the _most common_ things I do with konsole after I start it up is:

- Open a new shell (session)
- SSH to some other host
- perform a few initial commands (always the same) to setup remote tty, cd to a directory, etc
- Name the shell (a la CTRL-ALT-S) to the name of the remote system (or some other useful title) to identify the session window

It would be EXTREMELY nice if I could pre-define these common actions and then be able to press a button (or select a menu option) to just do it. It would be okay if there were some sort of password token that required me to enter my remote login/password manually.

I would like to be able to click on "FOO-HOST" (or whatever) and have it:

- Open a new session
- establish a connection with FOO-HOST
- login (or go through interactive login, either is okay)
- run a few pre-defined commands
- rename the session title to "FOO-HOST" (or some other name I choose in setting up the button)
