            Bug ID: 338504
           Summary: Double click in tabbar - clone option
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: tabbar
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: rowellogic-fedora at yahoo.com

To maintain some feeling of backward compatibility with older versions of
konsole - it would be great to offer the option to make double-click in the
tabbar "clone" a tab (the current topmost one I suppose) rather than doing "new
tab".

Cloning a tab is important for me (and folks at the studio where I work) since
we use a feature of the panel icons to be able to launch different shells
(i.e.; bash or tcsh), and pass different ENV var to the konsole - thus helping
to set up various environments for the user.  At any rate, with the new
behavior of how new tabs works - now if you make a new tab it doesn't pick up
any of the arguments you passed to the top level konsole, konsole just opens
your shell with the users default shell - nor does it get the env vars passed
in to the konsole in the first place.

However, using "Clone current tab" does pick up the env vars since the first
tab opened respects the args initially passed to konsole.

We're all used to double-clicking to get a new tab, so it would be great to
just have the old behavior back.  Thanks!!
