I'm not a big fan either, but there is ssh detection/integration - hence the
idea.

Sorry, my mistake - I just realized the escape sequence would need to be send
to screen-controlled pty, not konsole's. This would be pretty big hack.

This could be done with some shortcut managers (e.g. KDE's Custom Shortcuts) -
the only problem is to detect program inside terminal in other way than setting
its name as a part of a window title.



The first question is a duplicate, the second one not a bug/not fixable. Am I
missing something?
