I would like the following feature added to future portage versions: just like the xterm window title set to "emerging 1 of ** " etc., the emerge script could pass a shortened information to the konsole session title, e.g. "emerge 3/9" or something. This info is then available also when you are working with multiple sessions within one konsole window and the window title itself cant be seen. The escape sequence to set the konsole title to FOO is: \[\e]30;FOO\a\] Perhaps one could leave out the nonprinting wrap \[ and \] in this case, I need it in $PS1 to work properly with the length of my terminal line. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. possibility to disable the feature should be included also, perhaps also with "notitles"
Putting a hold on feature requests for portage as they are drowning out the bugs. Most of these features should be available in the next major version of portage. But for the time being, they are just drowning out the major bugs and delaying the next version's progress. Any bugs that contain patches and any bugs for etc-update or dispatch-conf can be reopened. Sorry, I'm just not good enough with bugzilla. ;)
Reopening for consideration
konsole already reads the xterm titles.
Assuming this is fixed according to comment #3
