> [!NOTE] > This is a remake of #63335 as it's unlikely to be reopened just from my [mention](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/63335#issuecomment-5452544138). Apologies for the noise! # Objective Closes #59368, where users (including me) are asking for a way to show the Launchpad instead of an empty tab when opening a new window. As per advice from https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/60720#issuecomment-4936162420, adding a separate setting from `restore_on_startup` is more ideal. `on_new_window` allows for two values: - `empty_tab` - `launchpad` (default) ## Testing Added a regression test which opens a new window with `on_new_window` set to `launchpad` and asserts that no item gets opened in the window's pane. I've verified it fails without the setting gate, and confirmed configuring this setting works manually (see Showcase). ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [ ] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable ## Showcase https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bf339bd1-8c62-4243-ac9d-1045d1a14865 --- Release Notes: - Added `on_new_window` setting to configure the opening of new windows.
