Description Christian Biesinger 2004-06-18 16:37:32 UTC 
Version:           1.3.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
OS:                Linux

often, while I have some app running in a konsole window, I'd like to open a new session to run some other app.

It would be nice if this option was available on the context menu. 

Ideally, it would open a new window, not a new tab.

Why in the context menu? What has it to do with the context?
Comment 2 Christian Biesinger 2004-06-18 18:10:12 UTC 
well, it's a common action for me. the context menu is very fast to reach.
Comment 3 Ashar Voultoiz 2005-01-14 05:58:24 UTC 
Version 1.4.1 :
right click -> new session -> shell

Maybe it can be put at the top of the menu instead of
the "Show Menubar" bar wich is probably not used often.

You can also bind a shortcut (I got WIN+N to open new session).

Use a shortcut.
