How can I pre-generate new addresses?
Electrum will generate new addresses as you use them, until it hits the gap limit.

If you need to pre-generate more addresses, you can do so by typing wallet.create_new_address(False) in the console. This command will generate one new address. Note that the address will be shown with a red background in the address tab to indicate that it is beyond the gap limit. The red color will remain until the gap is filled.

WARNING: Addresses beyond the gap limit will not automatically be recovered from the seed. To recover them will require either increasing the client’s gap limit or generating new addresses until the used addresses are found.

If you wish to generate more than one address, you can use a “for” loop. For example, if you wanted to generate 50 addresses, you could do this:

hi everyone!

i have somes questions about electrum wallet...

Case StepByStep:
1- i did a new wallet, seed ex:"1234567890" if i go to another computer, make a wallet, say already have seed, add the same seed ex:"1234567890", then in theory both are the same, im right?
2- if i do transfers using the GUI of electrum, both wallets are sync, and both can see both transactions...
3- if i go to console, and ask about "getunusedaddress" he give me the next address without use. I do operation and both are the same....

Now come the thing i dont understand.
3A- if all the addresses from the first wallet are used, they give me a new address, but if i transfer to this address, the wallet where i get the address see the transactions, but the wallet we imported before no..... how can that happens??
3B- i tryed the same with the command "createnewaddress" and same case as before........ any idea??
4- if i import the public key just to watch, same case....

Basicly i need one wallet sync on both computer... before its works, so i dont knows whats happens now :// maybe last version of electrum wallet? (3.3.8 ) Linux
