New tabs can not be opened via the tab bar.

[SparkyBluefang]

Guake Terminal: 3.4.0
VTE: 0.48.4
VTE runtime: 0.48.4
Gtk: 3.22.30

In previous versions of Guake, new tabs could be opened by double-clicking the empty space on the tab bar, or by clicking the new tab button. With the Gtk.Notebook tab conversion, tabs can only be opened with the keyboard shortcut or through an existing tab's context menu.

indeed, this is a feature we do not have anymore, I didn't knew this was used by anyone. It makes sense to reset this feature. Pull Request accepted (should not be that hard to do :p )

I'm not sure about double-clicking, but the button I did use pretty regularly.

I was always using the double-click and was very confused, that it didn't work anymore. I still feels like a bug for me because it disturbed by usual behavior.

@gsemet, @clarete , @aichingm , @piotrdrag I use double-click frequently. And want this feature back deeply. After review the code commit history, find that the following change removed the double-click feature

    disable custom tabs

diff --git a/data/guake.glade b/data/guake.glade
index d2d20a2..e848c85 100644

I tried to revert this commit , but lots of conflict in guake/guake_app.py. I am not familiar with the code. So It's diffcult for me to resolve the conflict. Could you please help make this feature back?

Thank you !

+1, I also think this is a good idea to bring this back. Especially for newbies, the button makes sense.

• There is no new tab/close tab in the context menu, which I think should be there as well.

• Plus, it would be nice to have the new tabs button configurable in Preferences. I always edited the glade file to put it on left side of the tabs (makes more sense to me, less mouse travel...) , so having this configurable (show left, right, and do not show) would be a real win.

• I also changed the icon to something more obvious (a black plus sign ) which I can provide if others like it.
