Does anyone know if it's even remotely possible to have teh tab names in Konsole change per remote host you ssh into?

The whole reason for using %w is so that the *shell* (local or remote) can set the title of the tab. If you want the shell to supply another value, then you need to modify the code I supplied to do whatever you need done. Perhaps you want to use another format specifier in the tab settings and not use the shell at all. Maybe I misunderstood the question. The "Insert" drop-down in the tab configuration screen will show what is available, if you don't want the shell to fill it in. __________________ [*] A typical prompt for me is: "garry@ifr$ ". I look at the window title to remind me of the path. I also never show the tabs in konsole. That way there's always enough real estate for the path in my terminal title bar. It works for me. At work, I also use different profiles to get different background colors on terminal sessions depending on what host I am logged into. Then I use different menu items (icons, that is) to log to different hosts. More visual cues to make sure I know my context so I don't do something stupid. -- Garry Williams _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org
