Thank you for having answered so fast. Much appreciated!

As per your suggestion, I had to install a few other terminal programs
to see that their split-view indeed create a new shell.

But konsole is the terminal of KDE plasma and what made it stand out
was the possibility to split a terminal session in two when
visualizing a long command output (think ala journalctl or git log)
which is really useful. So I think adding back this functionality to
konsole would indeed be a good thing in my opinion.

Note I can trivially do that in Emacs with its terminal emulators and
split-buffer. But Emacs is not a proper terminal application.  Maybe
it is possible to do it with Gnu screen or tmux but I have not found
yet.

Now the way to do it in konsole if I had the capabilities to program
in KDE plasma would be to add a context menu (right-mouse click) in
each pane of a konsole split and let the user choose the associated
shell session, with maybe the default session set in a parameter
file. Possible?

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Denix13
