In konsole 26.04.0-1.1 under settings → Configure Konsole → General there is an option called “Force new tabs” with help text “When launching Konsole create a new tab instead of creating new windows if possible”.
I take that to mean that when the option is turned on, where possible konsole will try to open new tabs instead of windows. I turned the option on and tried 2 scenarios:
- Opened konsole, switched to dolphin and used option “Open Terminal here”
- Opened konsole, under menu options selected new window
With both of these newly requested instance of konsole opens in a new window instead of a tab. In the 2nd case that’s understandable because we are requesting an explicit “New Window”, but why does the 1st not work i.e. open in a new tab vs window.
Also, could someone give me an example of where this option does work?
