Summary: Restore split views sharing tabs globally from 18.12.3
Product: konsole
Version: master
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: tabbar
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
Konsole release 18.12.3 was the last version featuring split views that shared
tabs globally with all other split views. Each new split view contained the
tabs opened so far in other split view. Any version that followed appears to
have a different management for tabs.
Currently, each tab contains its own split views, opened after a split view is
created. That disallows sharing and switching the sessions between tabs (or at
least as easily as in 18.12.3).
Previously, each split view shared the existing console sessions opened so far.
Each split view was always visible with the currently active tab selected. It
was possible to move to another visible in another tab easily. Closing a tab in
one split view closed it other split views, reducing the amount of tabs in
other views by one. All of the split views were visible at any time, so it was
possible to pick a selection of sessions easily. It was even possible to view
the same session twice in two split view.
That was logical, in contrast to the incoherent style for tab management now,
where each tab governs its own set of split views. Previously, a user was able
to view the contents of all tabbed split views at once. Now that is impossible.
Only the contents of the currently selected tab are visible. One has to switch
to a different tab to view the sessions opened in that tab.
Please enable the former mode for tabs as a configuration option. I've been
stuck with konsole packages from 18.12.3 due to it being the last version where
split views sharing tabs were available and where console session can
reasonably be managed.
Linux/KDE Plasma: any konsole release above 18.12.3
