Activate `Prefer tabs when opening documents` only for one application In macOS 11.6, I can go to `System Preferences->General` and activate the `Prefer tabs when opening documents` option so that new windows are opened as new tabs. This setting will influence many applications e.g. Mail, Terminal, Finder etc. Screenshot of general settings with the `prefer tabs whe... (more) |

You can't know which information on the screenshots might be interesting for us and we can't know if the information we see actually reflects your system. Just take your question yesterday.
