Well, I haven't completed my build yet, so none of those goodies are available :-) Basically I'm missing having more than 80 columns, decent font, easy copy/paste, proper history and auto-complete, unlimited (or at least long enough) scrollback, etc, and that's even before the Unix commands. 20+ years of bash usage and 10+ of konsole has made me spoiled and lazy and unwilling to adapt :-) I'll try Console 2, see if that alleviates the pain.
