Ctrl + N = new Document: look up user prefs if he/she wants to use tabs or not (which in apps that use tabs should default to "yes")
Ctrl + T = Allways open new tab (overriding user prefs)
Ctrl + Shift + N = Allways open new window (as shift points to the next-higher structure: document -> window)
this way the default Ctrl+T of FX would not break but we would get a good set of rules imo that is logically thought through.
I'd propose something like:
Ctrl + N = new Document: look up user prefs if he/she wants to use tabs or not (which in apps that use tabs should default to "yes")
Ctrl + T = Allways open new tab (overriding user prefs)
Ctrl + Shift + N = Allways open new window (as shift points to the next-higher structure: document -> window)
this way the default Ctrl+T of FX would not break but we would get a good set of rules imo that is logically thought through.
