+ <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>
