  Then the close button is not necessary at all; the window always has its own close button.

  To me, "Duplicate..." sounds more natural, and I don't think I've seen "Copy As..." in English in very many user interfaces.

  That's a bad UI, sorry. Buttons shouldn't change their text like that. The combobox was invented for exactly this use case. :)

  Not sure I'm familiar enough with how any of this functionality actually works. I'll defer to the #kate <https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/kate/> folks here.

  "New Session" seems better to me. It should have the `list-add` icon.

  I still have no idea what this means. :)
