Adding QGroupBox around every item added

[cerr]

@SGaist
We already have the terminal and the splitter and everything going but what I now would like to include is, that each split terminal can be added to a particular group so that key strokes can be sent to each terminal that is a member of that group instead of just to one.... and that's what I'm having troubles with.

Looks like you should rather use an event filter to propagate the key events to the other members of "terminal groups"

I was intending to use the groupbox to display to group assignment for each terminal instance . Other ideas are appreciated, too!

That I understood, and it's one way to do it.

Out of curiosity, aren't you kind of re-implementing the Konsole application ?

@SGaist
Konsole with some advanced features, see https://github.com/kterminal/kterminal

[SGaist]

What features are you adding ?

splitting (& grouping) kind of like in Terminator (https://launchpad.net/terminator).

[SGaist]

Out of curiosity, why not improve Konsole directly ?

Because the splitting & tabbing the way it's done in Konsole is a particular feature that will be of benefit to a particular user base and we/I don't necessarily feel like messing with them as a newbie in terms of contributing to OSS - if that makes sense... I however could KTerminal see to become a second terminal option in (standard) KDE, next to Konsole for people that are looking for the other kind of tabbing & splitting...

That's a wrong assumption you're doing. You should contact the Konsole maintainers and talk with them about this feature. That's the best way to know whether you should go ahead or provide an alternative.

You seem to be a bit afraid of contributing. The best way to start is to talk with the people from the project and KDE is one very friendly project.
