<desc>Choose whether to open a new window or a new tab by default.</desc>

<title>Windows and tabs</title>
<note style="tip">
<p>This setting only applies when the <link xref="pref-menubar">menubar is
enabled</link>, or when <app>Terminal</app> is started from the command line and
neither the <cmd>--tab</cmd> nor the <cmd>--window</cmd> options are passed.</p>
</note>
<p>You can choose whether to open a new tab or a new <app>Terminal</app>
window when you use <gui style="menuitem">New Terminal</gui>.</p>
<steps>
<title>If the menubar is enabled,</title>
<item>
<p>Select
<guiseq><gui style="menu">Edit</gui><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>
<gui style="tab">General</gui></guiseq>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Set <gui>Open new terminals in:</gui> to <gui>Tab</gui> or
<gui>Window</gui>.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<steps>
<title>If the menubar is not enabled,</title>
<item>
<p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
<gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>In the sidebar, select <gui>General</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Set <gui>Open new terminals in:</gui> to <gui>Tab</gui> or
<gui>Window</gui>.</p>
</item>
</steps>
<p>Once you have set the preference, you can use <key>Ctrl</key> to invert
the preference. For example, if you have your preferences set to open a new
terminal in a new tab, then pressing <gui style="menuitem">New Terminal</gui>
will open a new tab. On the other hand, if you hold down <key>Ctrl</key> and
then press <gui style="menuitem">New Terminal</gui>, then a new window will
be opened instead.</p>
