           Summary: Konsole doesn't seem to support xterm's style
                    titeInhibit option
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.6.5
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: yacoob gmail com


Version:           1.6.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-11-generic

Konsole doesn't allow user to inhibit ti/te terminfo actions.

For quick and visual description of a problem (which appears also in gnome-terminal) visit this url:
http://fixlog.blogspot.com/2006/09/stop-gnome-terminal-screen-clear.html

For detailed description:
ti/te are capabilities of terminal that allow application to switch to 'alternate screen'. With this in effect, "previous" view of the terminal window is restored upon exiting less, man, vim, and many other programs. Xterm allowed user to disable this behaviour. Without this 'alternate screen', one was able to quickly view the file, scroll to some arbitrary view, quit less, and input commands using information from output of less command. Without possibility of inhibiting ti/te capabilities, terminal becomes a bit crippled for some users.

I'd like konsole devs to reconsider adding such option as 'titeInhibit'.

TIA,

KT.
