Created attachment 115641 [details] (Image example) (Krita 4.2.0-pre-alpha (git e35700e) - Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, Unity) It seems that the "New View" action is missing in "Settings > Configure Krita... > Keyboard Shortcuts" (see image).

Argh, sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly. There _is_ no New View action: the contents of the New View menu are dynamically generated for all open images. We would have to create a generic new_view action, and put that somewhere in the View menu. Not a lot of work, but it would be a new feature.
Ok, since creating a new view is already possible through the Window menu I'd close this report then (feel free to reopen in case). Thanks for clarifying :)
No, let's keep it open -- it would be a good thing to have a generic new view action, and I've asked Anuj to look into that.
