Everybody who uses Konsole (under KDE 4) will use this feature and I know that is quite a few people. I haven't had any comments or bug reports about it since I originally implemented it - save this one of course.

In the use case you describe the real problem (as far as I see) is at the window management level because there isn't an easy way to lay a group of windows out in a particular order - each window has to be resized and moved individually (in KWin at least). This is something which I personally would find useful for many other use cases that don't involve the terminal.

I could do that. Perhaps a checkbox labelled "Remember window size on exit" in the 'Window Options' section of the profile edit dialog.

Remembering window size on a per-profile basis is something that could also be done. There is a "--profile" argument which specifies the profile to use in the new Konsole window.

For example, if you created two profiles "Vim" and "Music", then:

Executing "konsole --profile Music" would not affect the saved geometry for Konsole instances started with "konsole --profile Vim".

As I mentioned, there is a bug which will mean that the shortcuts are not created until a new Konsole window is opened. There are also some unenforced rules about combinations of modifier keys that can be used (because most single-modifier shortcuts are reserved for use by terminal programs). Both Ctrl+Shift+[Letter] and Ctrl+Alt+[Letter] should work.
