F.Y.I. I posted the same question on the KDE-User mailing list and got the following answer: <quote> For the 4.8.x series, there is no way. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184788 for why the old behavior is sometimes problematic. A new action "Clone Tab" has been added in the development version, which is dedicated for that handy/confusing behavior. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292518 . If this change is unbearable for you and you can't wait for KDE SC 4.9, you can build from source code either the older version or the development version. You can get the source code of Konsole from https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde-baseapps/konsole/repository. Checkout the master branch or the v4.7.4 tag. If you are unfamiliar with building KDE applications, take a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Example. </quote> -- Dan Johansson, <http://www.dmj.nu> *************************************************** This message is printed on 100% recycled electrons! ***************************************************
