            Bug ID: 326857
           Summary: Print Screen/Copy Screen options menu
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: bernard.gray at gmail.com

Exec Summary: 
Add either a right-click context menu, or File menu option with Print/Copy
Screen options that allow direct printing or copying of the visible screen
contents, either as text or as an image.

Detailed Description:
Add to either a right click context menu, or File menu the following options:
1. Print Screen - sends an image of the current konsole window to the KDE print
dialog
2. Print Screen Inverted - sends an inverted (colours) image of the current
konsole window to the KDE print dialog (useful for white text on black bg, to
reduce toner usage)
3. Copy Screen to Clipboard (image) - copy an image of the current konsole
window into the paste buffer (as image)
4. Copy Screen to Clipboard (text) - copy the visible text (not inc scrollback
history) to paste buffer (as text)

Back Story:
I work for De Bortoli Wines in Australia. We're at the tail end of a 170+
Desktop KDE rollout, and have previously had a default terminal feature called
"Print Screen". On our previous DE, it was an in-house hack in gnome-terminal
which just snapshot and inverted the colours of the terminal screen (black to
white bg for toner saving), then popped up a print dialog where the user could
choose a printer to send it to.
This feature is extremely useful for our environment which includes a character
interface to our ERP system, and we are hoping that it may be useful to others
hence this request -

Thanks for your consideration (and very handy tool!)
