--- Comment #1 from Nikita Melnichenko <nikita+...@melnichenko.name> ---
Quick investigation shows the regression was introduced in
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/krusader/-/merge_requests/50 or
https://invent.kde.org/utilities/krusader/-/merge_requests/49 . Adding Toni.
While I fully support and cheer adding all the goodness with Undo Closing and
Insert After Current options (thanks for working on this, Toni), changing the
default without introducing an option to get back to the behavior that's been
there for many years is a regression. Besides this, popup menu looks wrong now
- there are two options "New Tab" and "Duplicate Current Tab", which do the
same thing (shortcut actions have the same issue). Users will definitely
consider this a bug. Moreover, the icon for the "New Tab" in popup is the same
as on the New Tab button in the tab toolbar, which gives the idea that it
should open a fresh tab.
I propose the following:
1. Revert "New Tab" actions to the old behavior (opening a fresh tab). Popup
and shortcut bugs will be fixed with this.
2. Add an new option "Show duplicate tab button" that will reveal Duplicate
Current Tab button with correct icon in the tab toolbar. We already have "Show
new tab button". Users can choose (or even enable both!).
3. (Optional, just as an idea to consider) If we think the default location (=
home dir) is not good, we could add an option to specify a location to open
with the new tab (like Home Page in browsers).
BTW, wanted to comment on this assumption in MR-50:
> People who use Konsole, Double Commander, Total Commander or Dolphin are used

> When trying Krusader, they do not expect that new tabs start from the home
> folder.
This is not correct. Personally, I used to the fact that Konsole and TC are
doing this, however I expect Krusader to be better. In fact, when Konsole
introduced this, it was hard to rewire to the new behavior, and still sometimes
I forget about this and have a "what's going on" flashes... We actually don't
know what users expect as we haven't conducted any user study. So let's do it
softly and don't introduce additional cognitive load with the new release.
