Right!
If someone want this than "Konsole" is the wrong place!

Simply install the real Putty for Debian:
<https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/putty>
This is the Linux like implementation of Putty compiled from the
original Putty source.

To create a Putty like "SSH manager" thing is doubling an existing
program and the reinvention of the wheel! Please don't do this.


"Konsole" is a simple graphical user interface to a console or better
said: to a command line interface as a text window.


My use case only use the command line parameter "--profile=xxx" to
switch to different profiles like tcsh or mksh or python. For this use
I have created two or three XDG desktop files.

And my first need is simply to set two or three existing profiles out
of ten or so as a visible submenu in "Konsole"'s like before. So when
I want to open a new tab in an open window I simply choose the menu
click the function (bash/zsh or mc or htop) I want. Nothing more.

This was my intention when I filed the bug #430723 last year (For
unknown reasons my bug was marked as a duplicate of this bug :-). For
my use this way is sufficient to mark some of the existing profiles to
be showed in menu.
