Bug ID: 411121
Summary: Provide options to configure the split header bars in
the new split view
Product: konsole
Version: 19.08.0
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: split-view
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: eddiecarswel...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
First off, I'm glad the new split view finally landed with 19.08.0, so thanks
for that. There is certainly room for improvement of this feature, however.
(Isn't there always?)
The new title bars that appear on each split view can take up a lot of screen
real estate when there are a lot of splits. This is the main reason I configure
the tab bar to be hidden and use the keyboard to navigate tabs instead.
We need a similar option for hiding the split view header. This would allow for
splits to be completely "headless" and not take up space with a bulky header
bar on each one. We also need proper shortcuts for navigating splits like we do
with tabs (Bug 411113).
The options could be to show/hide the header, or to change its size for those
who just want it smaller. Maybe even an option to only show it on a view when
the mouse is hovering near its the top?
These two changes would make this feature much more usable and support a larger
variety of workflows (especially for those who like to use the keyboard and
don't like unnecessary UI elements cluttering their terminals).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open konsole
2. Make some split views
3. Look for option to hide split headers
OBSERVED RESULT
Split view headers are not configurable.
EXPECTED RESULT
Split view headers should be configurable.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
