Description of the new feature/enhancement

When I am using commands which need administrative privileges I need to reopen the terminal app and run it as admin. A good solutions, if possible, would be to add an option in the settings to always run the app with administrative privileges.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

More options in the next update
