           Summary: Paste should not scroll to bottom
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sterlingchristensen at hotmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I would like to be able to check a box to make konsole (and yakuake) behave
like this:
1. If I scroll up and then type a letter, scroll back to the bottom.
2. If I scroll up and then paste some text, DO NOT scroll. Keep viewing this
part of the scrollback buffer in case I want to copy+paste something else.

This is the way gnome-terminal works, and it's very convenient. For example:
suppose your package manager outputs a list of packages you could update, but
you want to update some and not all of them. So you paste together a command
line to do that. This can save you from having to repeatedly scroll back up to
copy the next package name.

Reproducible: Always


Actual Results:  
Pasting causes you to lose your place, so you have to scroll back up and find
it again.

Expected Results:  
Paste should optionally not cause scrolling.
