Sounds like KDE + shell integration could be a first step for you... Functionality for Konqueror is delivered by IOSlaves and service menus which just integrate into the workflow - and KDE programs can directly use these, too. > session management): traditional applications create a totally useless > grouping of activities.

You mean something like this? kfmclient newTab "http://1w6.org" or kfmclient newTab gg:1w6 (if you have gg: as shortcut for "search in google", then this searches google for "1w6"). you could make this more convenient for shell users with the alias alias kon='kfmclient newTab' Now you could just use "kon gg:1w6" to search for 1w6. > As for use of spaces and other shell characters in file names: given the > choice between beauty, and being able to use the power of the shell, I > definitely opt for the latter :-) :-) At least my autocompletion automatically escapes spaces in filenames - which eases the pain quite a bit :) Best wishes, Arne --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Unpolitisch sein heißt politisch sein, ohne es zu merken. - Arne (http://draketo.de) --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
