Allow only one Dolphin instance ? (jlai.lu)

Hi,

When pressing Super-E when Dolphin 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

Check the settings, this doesnt require any changes.

Btw same possible for konsole and okular.

The "Keep a single Dolphin window" option doesn't work for Super-E.

It only works for third-party apps (e.g. "Show in folder" for browser downloads).

Try something like dolphin --new-tab ? And change the keyboard shortcut?

Nope, and I looked at dolphin --help but there's nothing there

I think Ctrl + T will open a tab in dolphin window.

I want a global shortut, that will open Dolphin if not already open, and focus the existing window then create a new tab if already open.
