I guess I am old school, I don't really like IDE's, never have. Even 
when I had to use one for 4 years.
(I did some Delphi work on Windows for a while about 11-12 years ago ... 
hush don't tell anyone that I was a Windows prostitute once)

if you use konsole (i.e. kde's terminal)
you can just do CTRL-SHIFT-N to create a new terminal tab
then use CTRL-right or CTRL-left to go between the tabs (i.e. terminal 
sessions)

I use this to edit with vim, and compile, debug, and run
one tab (session) to keep the file in the editor, the other tab to do 
the compile, debug, run
when in vim when I want to recompile, I just do a :w, then move to the 
next tab, and do the compile
it is very simple, and when you get use to it, it is simple and fast.
