How do I open a new instance of an application by default in GNOME?

I have a terminal open and want to launch another one. I hit the Windows key, type 'terminal' and hit Enter...and I'm warped to my first terminal.

I can hit Control+Enter to launch a new terminal. This is unnatural to me. Can I change the key bindings so that Enter will launch a new instance and Control+Enter will warp to the existing one?

Edit: I'm interested in all applications, not just a terminal.

You can configure this globally with a tweak extension.

You can press super , write tweak , open tweak tools.

Then go to "extensions" and enable "launch new instance"
