Version: 2.4.2 (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux I use gnome at home, but have to use KDE at work. While in terminal, I'm used to using 'CTRL+SHIFT+N' to open a new terminal _window_. On KDE, this opens a new tab. When I just need another terminal for a quick task, it's not a huge problem, but often I need to look at both terminals side by side, which makes tabs a huge problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open konsole. Press 'CTRL+SHIFT+N'. If you don't get a new terminal window, you have the bug :-). Actual Results: I get a new tab. Expected Results: I get a new window. Of course I'm not asking to change the default, just an option in profile settings would make me happy as a clam.
You can simply change the keyboard shortcuts (menu bar > Settings > Configure Shortcuts) The default shortcuts have changed in KDE SC 4.5: Ctrl+Shift+T is used for New Tab, and Ctrl+Shift+N is used for New Window.
Additional information: You should know that you can change the shortcuts of many KDE applications using the Settings > Configure Shortcuts menu. Additionally, in System Settings there is a section to configure global application shortcuts. To get additional help, please see http://userbase.kde.org/Getting_Help
