Actually I use that quite often to duplicate the current window.
How do I do it now?

And is it really worth it for an application to exclude itself from the Open With menu, while sacrificing the uniform content of this menu for each file type?
Comment 6 popov895 2023-04-25 07:25:16 UTC 
Please file a new bug report about being able to duplicate the current window.

Jjust out of interest, what's your purpose for duplicating the current window?

Just as a quick idea (I write it here, b/c I couldn’t find a request for it yet): Ctrl+N could be a solution. Just like in a browser or Dolphin, it would open a new window which shows or pre-selects the file that is active in the current window.
