Hi Robert,

Thanks for mailing.

The reason I would prefer it in GUI is some of my students use a variety of shells \
(both for learning and curiosity).

Agree.

Once again this is a bit static. I have different projects/machines NFS/sshfs mounted \
it is a bit not so easy.

Also
1. a _big_ advantage of GUI would be opening any number of new Konsole sessions and \
jump directly to a dir without having to type much (I am lazy).

2. For example, if "Shell 1" is localhost with certain directory and open another tab \
"Shell 2" and I login(ssh) to another machine (faster CPU/RAM/ my server/ cluster) \
and want to go the same directory "A recent folders option" would mean I can jump \
there easily - (irrespective of shell or even *nix - in general)

3. The used frequently list might also help in reminding what folders I was working \
recently...

Many thanks for reading.

Best regards,
Karthik
