Hi Delian:

There is a simple but handy script 'konsoleprofile', which is shipped by
konsole by default.  It can be used to change the settings of current
tab on the fly. For you case, I think "konsoleprofile
DefaultEncoding=cp1251" and "konsoleprofile DefaultEncoding=utf-8" will
work quite well. Create two aliases for them, then you can change the
encoding with few keystrokes.

If I remember correctly, konsole alsos provide dbus interface for
changing encoding. It is not as handy as konsoleproifle, but it can be
used to affect other tabs, instead of only current tab.

As for you suggestion of "second default", I'm not sure that is
something needed by most users.

Maybe we should write more documentation and examples for the
'konsoleprofile' script, so that more users will notice it and see its
value . Actually it is not documented at all until recently :)

Jekyll
Regards
