So I was remoted into my laptop from my gaming box so i could copy/paste the commands from the wiki article about upgrading to Plasma from 4 when I noticed something. PuTTY was giving me a STATUS of emerge! Check out the screenshot.

See the title bar? Konsole doesn't do that. Is it possible to get this kind of a status update via Konsole in KDE?

*UPDATE*

I took a second screenshot just now to prove that PuTTY is indeed somehow keeping track of emerge. This is GREAT for me because technically it is a status and I can estimate how much longer a big emerge will take. I'd really like to know what is going on here just because it is cool.

Hi The_Great_Sephiroth,

konsole can give you that by setting it to give you the Window title set by the shell.
You can do that by going to:
Settings -> Edit current profile
and then in Tabs, set Tab title format to %w and Remote tab title format to %w also.
Apply, OK.
and you are done.

BR,
Kosmas.

The_Great_Sephiroth,

Maybe you need genlop too?

Code:
Pi3 64bit ~ # genlop -t libreoffice
 * app-office/libreoffice

     Fri Apr 15 04:48:57 2016 >>> app-office/libreoffice-5.1.2.2
       merge time: 2 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes and 41 seconds.
It does much more

I have used genlop, but this title was in real-time telling me what package it was doing and whether it was compiling it or installing it. I just thought it was cool!

The_Great_Sephiroth,

I thought that was the default behavior for all terminal windows.

I am on my gaming rig (Windows 7 Pro 64bit) so I cannot tell you right now, but the default for konsole is "%d %u" or something similar. I may just add %w to the end to enhance the default. Either way I can make it work in konsole now. It just really surprised me to see a Windows application showing that status.

Yes, %w is not the default. But you can add it to konsole, of course. Might mess up your tabs, though...
