Research direction
Look in the settings module for keyboard shortcuts configuration, likely in 'src/settings/keyboard shortcuts.js' or similar. Identify the duplicate entry for 'New Blank Window' and remove one. Check if there are any duplicate key bindings defined in the settings UI or configuration files.
