SUMMARY
When I need a new terminal, I can choose to open a tab, but some programs just use the konsole binary directly, so I can't even add a console script in PATH that will make them open a new tab. And when window is already open, it's impossible to merge it as a tab to another window, but it's possible to make a window out of a tab, so I don't miss out on anything when all new terminals open as tabs.
