This is an old question I have not been able to search up. With the change from KDE 3.x to 4.x, Konsole no longer opens a new tab when you invoke a bookmark and I would like to find out how to reimplement that feature.

Specifically, I used to have many ssh://me@customer.host.name URL organized in a heirarchy of folders in the bookmarks menu. It was very convenient because picking one would open a new tab in Konsole and immediately ssh to the machine. As of KDE 4.x (I was late to upgrade; so I can't swear it occurred with the very first version; but it seems likely), invoking the same bookmark types an ssh command in-line on the currently open tab. I can imagine this is very useful; but it's not really what I'm looking for.

I understand that I can script something up to launch a new tab with the appropriate ssh command and I suppose I will fall back to that, but it seems unnecessarily complex in light of the fact that this feature used to be built-in.

Thanks for your time.

I'm afraid the new replacement which has the functionality you're after is known as Profiles. If you'd like to get the original functionality restored I suggest you file a feature request at bugs.kde.org

As for the workaround, "qdbus org.kde.konsole" is your friend. /Konsole has methods for starting a new session, while /Sessions/<number>/ has methods for running arbitrary commands in them.

I asked the same question some time ago here:

Unfortunately, although Profiles can be used, it's not logically analagous and is a rather inferior substitute. Seeing as how you're a FreeBSD user, another option is to install the KDE3 version of konsole by checking out the FreeBSD ports from subversion using revision 323747 or earlier.
