comment Stationary many subsets of $\kappa^+$ whose order type is a cardinal and whose intersection with $\kappa$ is an inaccessible cardinal
Thanks. By the way, I should probably share my motivation: I think it is interesting that the simultaneous failure of $\square(\kappa)$ and $\square_\kappa$ is strong whereas the failure of either on its own is weak. I have an application where it's not clear that $\neg \square(\kappa) \And \neg \square_\kappa$ is enough, however, so hopefully I can strengthen $\neg \square(\kappa)$ to "$\kappa$ is weakly compact" and strengthen $\neg \square_\kappa$ slightly to something like in the question, but still maintain the property that they are weaker on their own than they are together.

...whereas on the other hand if we don't know that $\kappa$ is weakly compact I don't see any way to get more than two Mahlo cardinals out of it, so I thought maybe it could be forced from two Mahlo cardinals somehow (the first being $\kappa$ and the second becoming $\kappa^+$.) I don't know if this is plausible though.

Yes, that is definitely worth mentioning. Ideally, I was hoping for something that implied the stationarity of the set in the question without also implying that $\kappa$ is weakly compact. This is because if we add the additional assumption that $\kappa$ is weakly compact, then $\square(\kappa)$ and $\square_\kappa$ both fail, and the lower bound for this coincides with the current state of the art in inner model theory (I think)...

comment Homogeneous Namba-like forcing
@alephomega When I use that phrase I usually mean "almost homogeneous forcing", which means that for any two conditions $p$ and $q$ in the forcing poset $\mathbb{P}$ there is an automorphism $\pi$ of $\mathbb{P}$ such that $\pi(p)$ is compatible with $q$. The only consequence of this that I am interested in is that the theory of the forcing extension with parameters from the ground model does not depend on the choice of generic filter.
