konsole?

That's "just" a terminal emulator and the konsole --nofork -e... runs a new konsole process (instead of attaching itself to an existing process) locally.

I seem to miss something there but I fail to understand how you use konsole to access an external device. Do you use X11 forwarding? Running something like ssh inside konsole?

Interesting that it didn't work even in the shell. Perhaps you needed to use the other escape codes instead, like \<Esc>]50;CursorShape=1\x7. I also noticed in the changelog for Konsole says they added in DECSCUSR support in 18.08.0, so maybe yours was older than that.

Oh, cool! Do you have a link to some docs? My system is still using 12.12.3 (I'm on Kubuntu 20.04), but even the changelog I see here (https://konsole.kde.org/changelog.html) doesn't seem to mention that - by chance are you using something even more bleeding-edge? ;)

Title should be "Konsole in 20.08". At least the image preview is apparently only available in KDE Apps 20.08 (https://konsole.kde.org/changelog.html), which is not brand new but not even released yet. I think the blog post does a really poor job in pointing out in which version these features are available. Especially since the author points out, that there is a "resurge" in development, so many LTS distro users might have none of these.

I thought I'd chime in with Linux instructions (u/SpaceboyRoss was asking about it).

What you'll need

• Pretty much any Linux distro (Arch, Manjaro, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.)

Steps

1. Download the latest 32 or 64 bit version of Xtreme Download Manager from here. Most likely you're running 64 bit (because most distributions are dropping support for 32 bit).
2. Extract the .tar.gz file into a folder.
3. Open a terminal emulator (Terminal, Konsole, Xterm, etc.) and cd into the folder (example: cd ~/Downloads/xdm-2018-x64). Note: the "~" is for your home directory (you might not need it, but it's there just in case). ^(and yes, there's a terminal emulator called) ^(Konsole)^(.)
4. Now that you're in the directory with the script, type this: sudo ./install.sh and enter your password (which won't be shown).
5. Once you open XDM, follow steps 2 and 3 from the other guide.

Except for some configuration options and slightly different optics the main difference is usually what terminal emulator they use. Guake for example is based on vte while yakuake is based on konsole. Sorry, no clue about tilda...

This makes a difference in what features the console emulator offers. Things like being able to click on http links in the shell window, how copy and paste works, ability to offer different profiles, theming, escape code support, tabs...

For example I like konsole better because of the split features....basically has a lot of tmux features build in already on console emulator level...with better mouse handling (being able to resize the splits with the mouse is nice ;)). But it's really more a matter of preference.
