Separate instances for purposes of taskbar groupings

[chrissv]

I use Kitty for two distinct purposes:

1. Traditional SSH terminals to other hosts
2. A replacement terminal for Cygwin

I would like when I select the option in the Windows taskbar settings "Combine taskbar buttons: always" that the Kitty terminals combine into two different groupings - one for the SSH hosts and one for all the different Cygwin terminals. Right now they all combine into a single grouping.

Is there something which Windows uses to differentiate the programs (for purposes of grouping in the taskbar) that I can override in the Kitty configuration?

With Putty, the terminal windows only combined when they went to the same host. That is, all terminals using the "-load host1" command-line option combined, but "-load host2" combined under a different icon. Kitty combines all terminal windows under the icon for the first-loaded terminal window. I would like Putty behaviour to be a choice I could configure. That way, I would not have to hover my mouse over the icon and then choose which window to use, but could go instantly to the correct window.

The behaviour that @chrissv desires could be another configurable choice.

In every other way that matters to me, KiTTY is superiour.

One+ year passed on this issue. Does anyone from KiTTY/@cyd01 triage or comment on issues like this?

Hello, Kitty! Is anyone there?
