Summon window and switch to profile #12135

Description

This is in response to an internal mail thread. I'm trying to read between the lines here, but here's the gist:

These users want different taskbar entries that when clicked, either open the terminal to a specific profile or launch that profile if it's not already running.

Example:

image

(let's ignore the jumplist entries for now, and focus on the 1, 2, 3 for different profiles)

So, how would that work?

Something like wt summon --profile foo?

  • summon is the globalSummon action
  • --profile foo indicating "look for the nearest pane with the profile foo, and focus that"?
    • If the active pane is that profile, just focus the terminal window
    • If its not, is there a pane in this tab with that profile
    • if not, is there any pane in the window with that profile
    • if not, open a new tab for foo
