Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

You can reproduce the bug by,

1. Open a terminal, using shortcut keys.
2. Drag it to the side of the right side of the editor.
3. Shift focus to the editor or any opened file.
4. Again press the keys that opened the terminal.
5. We have a new terminal opened.

My expectation is whenever I press the combination of opening a terminal this should happen,

1. If I am not at the terminal,
   • If the terminal is not opened, it should open and the cursor should be there.
   • If the terminal is opened, then I should the cursor should move there.
2. If I am at the terminal then it should close.

The culprit is the fact that you have moved the terminal tab into a central pane, splitting it in two halves. And the "keys that opened a terminal" seem to be bottom dock toggling, having nothing to do with the "focus terminal"?

What is the solution?

I'm having the exact same issue. Would be nice if Zed would detect that there's already an existing terminal panel somewhere else than the default terminal position and switch the focus to it instead of creating a new one.
