Description
I would like to suggest adding a user configuration option: When I start the Arduino IDE (by clicking on the program shortcut) or when opening a new instance (2 windows or more at the same time) I would like the window to open with a new sketch , just as I would if I clicked on the "new file" shortcut instead of opening the last code I created.
The ideal would be an option in the configurations where the user could choose this behavior of the program, if it wants a window "blank" or if the previous code replicated.
For me it is very necessary this resource because I always open a new instance to copy some passages of my current code to help me and then I need to close the unwanted program that opened when I opened a new instance ...

Research direction
The issue does not identify files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the Arduino IDE startup and new-instance behavior. Done means adding a configuration choice that opens a blank new sketch or restores the previous code when starting the IDE or opening another instance.
