Indeed. I thought I must be missing somewhere when I could not find it but it
was not clear to me that "session" is a "view". It is also sometimes referred
to as split or splitters (in settings รท Tab Bar / Splitters, the tab is called
"Splits"). So it is four words for the same concept, I think,  (Close Session
closes a view/split, not a tab). "View" is used in the action like "Split view"
or "Detach view".

What would be good, I think, is:
1) Unify on one word for split/splitters/view/session and use that throughout.
2) In Configure Konsole > Tab Bar /Splitter > Appearance, the first two tabs
(Appearance and Behaviour) refer to Tab Bar, but it is not really clear (first
option is "Show" - what is it that I am going to show?). I think it would make
sense to either join Appearance and Behaviour (which has just three options
anyway) into one tab called "Tab Bar" - or alternatively move Splitters from
"Tab Bar / Splitters" to a new category on its own.

By the way, I somehow managed to create three toolbars. Is that supposed to be
possible? They were named differently (Main Toolbar <konsole> and <session> and
Session Toolbar <session>). Then I pressed the Defaults buttons and I got just
two toolbars.

I also tried playing with the toolbard a bit and I do not get much the
difference. They have different actions avaialbe to them but the logic of the
division does not make much sense to me. Things regarding the splits and change
of focus would make more sense in the Session Toolbar (what they do depends on
which split is focused) and why for example is "Create New Profile" in Session
Toolbar?
