KDE 4 Dolphin Terminal Integration Introduction
If you follow my blog you’ll know that I’ve recently switched backed to KDE from GNOME, and I recently found a feature that I really have fallen in love with, when it comes to Dolphin usage.
The feature I will talk about today is Dolpin and Terminal Integration. First I must admit, I found this feature on accident as usually if I wanted to open a shell while in a directory to do certain tasks, I typically just did a “Shift+F4″, which opened a terminal of my current location. However, one time to my enjoyment I guess I didn’t press the “Shift” key, and went directly to “F4″. This brought up a new panel rightfully named Terminal.
I resized the terminal and was overjoyed to see that I now had a terminal within my dolphin window. How freaking cool was that.
Here’s some screenshots of where you’d configure and how the GUI looks with it integrated.
Now the integration goes as step further. As you change directories and do certain tasks like change directories, your terminal will also change directories and your current working directory will be the same

For the people who haven’t seen this feature, I hope you enjoy it.







Wow, how many found this feature by accident these days

it’s great but
it won’t work when your login into a remote host
The behavior is really annoying and causes integrated konsole to be non function in a lot of scenerios, is there a way to turn off dolphin actions interacting with konsole? Otherwise there’s no point in using this feature.
