            Bug ID: 338901
           Summary: Add markers for a scroll positions for easy finding
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.13.2
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: history
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: friesoft at gmail.com

Add the possibility to insert position markers into the scrollbar (like the
"markers" feature in kate). I would suggest adding a contextmenu to the
scrollbar draghandle (or middle mousebutton) to add a marker and when clicked I
would show a little star in the scrollbar which can be removed using
middleclick (or contextmenu).

Usecases:
1.) Tomcat startup of your favorite search engine (in this case lucene) -
directly after startup it will do a complete reindex outputting every object it
has indexed - there may be errors in between - and of course you want to fix
those - so you have to scroll back to those errors - but there will be more
when scrolling down - so I would just mark them in the scrollbar to be able to
jump back and forth between those errors
2.) mark position where you started to install software xyz and where the
password was generated and output for later reference

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tail -f on Tomcat catalina.out, wait some time for logoutput to appear -
meanwhile do some stuff in other konsole tabs
2. switch back to the tail-Tab and scroll back to quickly grasp whether there
were any errors
3. each error I find I add a mark in the scrollbar
4. jump back and forth between those errors by clicking on the stars to compare
if it is the same error
