double click the tab area and you get a new tab. ctrl-n gets you a new tab. i personally wouldn't ever use that feature.

I like the extra modes of copying since they all have unique uses and prevent editing in cases.

the encoding bit is odd yeah. adjust scrollback is not a common option i suppose.

it would be nice to configure the right click menu more but that's not an option i see in many apps so it's a wash. I use the menu so i don't have those options. it may even be configurable via a file somewhere in .config... i haven't tried or been bothered by the defaults enough to do so.

I am mainly an urxvt user but actually use konsole once in a while specially for this kind of advanced feature

All of which are useful

Then you've never worked with Japanese. Which is fine, but a significant proportion of the world needs to.

Not for Japanese, sadly.

Neither useful for a very large majority of people. Yet you’ve decided we must avoid them every time we look at the context menu.

Also neglected the point elsewhere that obscure options are fine in control panels, auxiliary and submenus.
