How can I create a new address in Electrum wallets? By default, the addresses are defined in the wallet. Can not I create new addresses myself?

Electrum will automatically keep making new addresses as you start using your wallet. So don't worry. Just go with the flow.

If you want more than 20 addresses showing in your wallet then open the "console" tab and type the commands below into it. Press your enter key after writing each line.

wallet.storage.put('gap_limit', 50)
wallet.storage.write()


wallet.change_gap_limit(50)

The above is better because wallet.storage.put doesn't do input validation. You could put a letter in there and it would set the gap limit to some absurdly high number like 2 billion.
