Launch profile in new tab

Open quantumfrost opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Tilix profiles have an option to run a custom command instead of the default shell. However, when you switch profile from an open tab, that command is not run, only the color, etc. settings are applied.

It would be nice to have a dropdown next to the new tab button with a list of all profiles. Selecting an option from the dropdown will launch the profile in a new tab, similar to Windows Terminal's implementation.

Some use cases would be to quickly ssh into a server, launch a non-default shell, run a backup command, etc.

Windows Terminal has a separate button to open a new tab, which shows a drop-down with defined profiles to be opened in new tab. This is incredibly convenient. I'm surprised that Tilix does have profiles definition, but no capitalization on top of that in form of new tab = user selected profile.
