Open new instance of tilda in new tab

[saaa-hsjgrobler]

Hi, is it possible to make it so that whenever a new instance of tilda is added, it instead adds a new tab to the existing tilda instance (if there is one)?

I can't seem to find anything in the preferences and there is one similar, badly worded, request as well as an older request that isn't very helpful.

You can right-click or use the new-tab hotkey open a new-tab or do you mean doing so via. terminal command?

Yes, or in my case when I click "Open new terminal here" from within my file explorer (nemo), I would like it to open in a new tab instead of a new window.

This requires dbus support in tilda first.

+1. This seems an old issue but quite important, nothing yet?

Lack of a solution also seems to break "xdg-open" functionality (or at the very least makes it throw a fit when running it). Just thought it worth mentioning.

+1, This is a huge issue, for what would be otherwise the indisputable best drop-down terminal around in my opinion.

I have created branch wip-dbus and started to experiment with dbus. It is not yet complete, but it already works for pulling the tilda window up and down.

After compiling you can pull the window with

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=com.github.lanoxx.tilda.Actions1 /com/github/lanoxx/tilda/Actions1 com.github.lanoxx.tilda.Actions1.Toggle

Note that the 1 in Actions1 refers to the tilda instance, so if you run two tilda instances you can control them separately with Actions1 and Actions2.

This would be a huge improvement to tilda. This issue spots the only fact i really don't like about tilda.
