Description Wout Mertens 2022-02-15 06:55:12 UTC
There seems to be no way to open a new window using DBus. I would expect /Window to have a method `new`.

When I'm in Konsole, I can open a new window instantly. From the command line, I can run `konsole` but it is A LOT slower and it doesn't fork.

So this is a feature request to have a `new()` method to open a new window from the same process.

sorry for the noise, I found I need to run

qdbus org.kde.konsole-### /konsole/MainWindow_1 org.kde.KMainWindow.activateAction new-window

We have two ways of running Konsole, one is a single process, and another
is multi process. If you have multi process enabled on the settings, it
will fork. If you have in the settings that this is a single process, not
even registering with dbus will make it fork.

I fail to see the need to have a dbus call for this.
