Exactly like Dolphin by default, Konsole uses Tabs but opens new windows on every action. I think opening new windows comes from... Windows ! And its horrible! So, personal opinion, Konsole should always open tabs instead of windows. Now the real request: make the same setting as in Dolphin "open instances in tabs instead of windows" should also be in Konsole, I think its missing there. This would fit into other apps that behave the same "one instance only": - Dolphin (configurable) - Kate - VLC (configurable) This cleans up the taskbar a lot too, and clicking on the icon will allow to open any tab/process, as they are in one window. Question about that: seperate windows are different processes, I guess this has a performance benefit. Does this apply to Tabs too? Otherwise this would be a drawback of this behavior. Not tagging it as "tabbar" as its about opening and settings?
"one instance only apps": - Gwenview, sort of - GIMP missing: - Kolourpaint - Okular

> but opens new windows on every action It does? Can you list the actions that open new windows in Konsole when you'd prefer new tabs instead?
launching Ctrl+Alt+T launching Spectacle from Dolphin via the button launching from Dolphin via context menu
Thanks!
interesting, on my system konsole --new-tab open a window and not a tab. --- Software --- OS: Fedora Linux 39 (Kinoite) KDE Plasma: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks: 5.110.0 Qt: 5.15.10 Kernel: 6.5.6-300.fc39.x86_64 Compositor: wayland

To open a tab konsole needs to be configured to always use the same process On Tue, 14 Nov 2023 at 11:50 Henning <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473907 > > --- Comment #6 from Henning <amanita+KDEBUGS@mailbox.org> --- > interesting, on my system konsole --new-tab open a window and not a tab. > > --- Software --- > OS: Fedora Linux 39 (Kinoite) > KDE Plasma: 5.27.8 > KDE Frameworks: 5.110.0 > Qt: 5.15.10 > Kernel: 6.5.6-300.fc39.x86_64 > Compositor: wayland > > -- > You are receiving this mail because: > You are the assignee for the bug.
true! after setting this setting and restarting it, it now opens tabs manually.
it works if "konsole --new-tab" is always set and this "single process" is chosen. But it is not working right now for "open directory in konsole" in dolphin, launching apps etc. Why can't konsole use a process for every tab? is this just not a thing, or am I misunderstanding the name? Because bundling everything in a single process doesnt sound like a good idea.
