I finally happened upon something I've been searching for a long time now: how to automatically rename the tabs in Konsole so they show what remote host you are logged into, or what your current working directory is (if logged in locally). I tried this new thing out today, and it seriously makes me happy.

So if you use Linux...

[crickets]

And KDE...

[more crickets]

And you use Konsole as your terminal application...

[still hearing crickets]

Then you should really, seriously have a look at Konsolewrap. It'll definitely help you get around in Konsole, especially if you tend to ssh into lots of remote hosts, and depend on Konsole's tabs to keep everything organized.

(The tabs on the bottom in that screencapture would normally say "Shell No. 1", "Shell No. 2" and so on. It's not very helpful because you can't see what each terminal is doing. Plus, KDE version 3.2 has a feature which will pop up a little gray tooltip-like window on the taskbar every time it detects the system bell on one of those terminals. And instead of that tooltip saying "Alert in Shell No1", it'll now say "Alert in fast", and I know that I've got new mail or whatever on the machine called fast.)

I'm very happy. It's the little things in life, you know.
