Change profile doesn't provide this functionality for you?
I use change profile for exactly this sort of feature. I create profiles with
different background colors and title string segments then apply those profiles
to terminal tabs or open new terminals as a certain profile.
-jef
I see what you mean. I think it does provide the functionality, but it's put at a level where it's less useful than it could be. It would be nice to have it more easily accessible, i.e. right-clicking a tab. I'll try it out though. I think your idea fits for pre-arranged profiles that you know you will use. e.g. you might have a kernel compile profile and a xen hacking profile and a cvs profile. I won't really have set profiles like this. I'd have to use "yellow profile", "blue profile", etc. This is where the quick access to customising terminals would come in useful (but also the ability to change tab colours). You can define profiles however you like. If you want "yellow profile" you can have "yellow profile".. the profiles are flexible enough to allow this, if that is how you want to use them. State information is saved by saving the type of profile a tab is using. If you want different tabs to have different remembered configurations when you bring the session back up you are going to have to define profiles to remember that information. The change profile and edit current profile items exist in the right-click menu when you right click in the terminal area. Is that really less useful than right-clicking the tab? A profile defines more than just the title.. it lets you change several aspects of the terminal display. If you want to move the whole terminal right-click area to the tab as well..fine. But i wouldn't call the right click menu on the display area useless. -jef I've been playing around with this, and I think for this to be useful, the ability to label a tab quickly is what would be valuable. The "I have activity" option would also be good. and the ability to save scrollback to a file would be good too, but that's (spookily similar bug number) bug 161900 This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks. Fedora Core 4 is no longer maintained. Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the corresponding Fedora version. |
