Allow only one Konsole instance ? (jlai.lu)

Hi,

When pressing Ctrl-Alt-T when Konsole is already open, I would like for the existing window to be unminimized and for a new tab to be created, rather than a new window.

How to do this ?

Thanks

Also, in Shortcuts, remove Ctrl-Alt-T from "Launch" and put it on "Open in New Tab".

And it annoys me that you can't close tabs in Konsole with middle click. Just sayin'.

That works, thank you !

Actually, that works. Konsole v24.12.1 on KDE neon 6.2

Although I always close all terminal sessions on all devices with Ctrl+D because it's universal.

hmm, I'm on 24.12.0 on Fedora so I guess I'll see if it works when it upgrades next.

Hmm, I would find it weird that this feature would have been added just now on that last patch version.

~~However, I noticed something : on another computer, running flatpaked Konsole on Pop OS, middle click doesn't work indeed. So, maybe this feature only works when using KDE ?~~

UPDATE : turns out, the feature just wasn't enabled. Go to Configure Konsole -> Tab Bar / Splitters -> Behavior -> Close tab on middle-click.

Also, here's something I like on Konsole that other terminal emulators don't have : making the tab bar always visible, because I don't like when the terminal resizes due to going between 1 tab & 2+ tabs.

That's awesome, it's fixed. I have no idea why that isn't the default, because it does nothing otherwise (though if you dbl-middle click, it brings up tab configuration).

I wondered as well.

You're welcome !
