            Bug ID: 474448
           Summary: Wish: Allow cursor placement by mouse click in the
                    current command
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: oliver.sander at tu-dresden.de
  Target Milestone: ---

I sometimes find myself working with very long command lines in konsole.  One
example are compiler invocations which can easily get 700 letters long.  In my
workflow, I copy them from the clipboard into Konsole and then I need to edit
them.

The problem is that it is very tedious to move around in such long lines.  I
can jump to the beginning and to the end of the line with the Pos1 and End
keys.  To move around I can go left and right with the arrow-left and
arrow-right keys, and that's apparently it.  Unfortunately, moving around in
such a long line with the two arrow keys only can take a long time.

My wish is that when I click onto the current command line the Konsole cursor
moves to the position of the mouse cursor, just as it does in Kate or
LibreOffice.
