NAME
Konsole - X terminal emulator for KDE.
SYNOPSIS
Konsole [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [args]
DESCRIPTION
Konsole is an X terminal emulation which provides a command-line interface (CLI) while using the graphical K Desktop Environment. Konsole helps to better organize user's desktop by containing multiple sessions in a single window (a less cluttered desktop).
Konsole advanced features include simple configuration and the ability to use multiple terminal shells in a single window, making for a less cluttered desktop.
Using Konsole, a user can open:
Linux console sessions
Shell sessions
Screen sessions
Midnight Commander file manager sessions
Root console sessions
Root Midnight Commander sessions
User created sessions
These sessions can be renamed to help you keep track of all your shells, or signaled (STOP, CONT, HUP, INT, TERM, KILL).
For more control over konsole, a user can: hide/show the menubar and/or frame; select the size of a konsole window, fonts, color schemes, and key mapping; change location of the scrollbar or hide the scrollbar; change location of the tabbar or hide the tabbar.
All chosen settings can be made the default for forthcoming sessions by saving them.
