Hello,

First of all thanks for konsole. I love it!
But as always, there are a few things I personally would love to see integrated :-)

I greatly appreciate the fact that you can have your input send to other session of the same konsole, especially to detached sessions. This way I can work at multiple machines at the same time and see the different output of the same commands on all those machines, and use the detached session to enter a single commands on those machines if needed.

However on my wishlist would be the possibility to open a small window containing only an input field and a multiple-select list with all sessions of that konsole
This way you could select specific sessions to send the key-input of the input field to. So instead of sending to all session you could select to send the input only to session 1,4 and 5 for instance. Session 2 and 3 would not receive the input, and each session could be used individually as well by selecting it instead of the 'multi-send-window'. The output of each session would remain in its own session and no feedback to the 'multi-send-window' would be required. In effect making this 'multi-send-window' the same as the input field of the sun cluster console program.

I tried to mimic this by 'detaching' the 'send input to all sessions'-session in a separate xterm and making it one line high (and after running a cat >/dev/null in it), but as soon as I do this detaching, it loses its 'send-to-all'-magic :-\

Hopefully this is something to be considered.

Regards,

David Heremans
