Description of the new feature/enhancement

I hope that the terminal can sometimes run in the background constantly.

  1. When I execute some commands,like running a web server,
    I need it stay in the task bar in the lower right corner, rather than a minimized window at the bottom.

  2. When I open the backend terminal. I could see the log when I was not there.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Maybe the quake window is suitable for this.

This sounds exactly like "minimizeToNotificationArea", aka, minimize to tray. /dup #5727

I'm not sure; the request was for "some commands" but the setting is global. A per-window setting might be more suitable.

I tried this as you say, but it seems not work.
btw, I set both alwaysShowNotificationIcon and minimizeToNotificationArea true

@kylinholmes what version of the Terminal are you using? That might only be in Preview still. I can't remember if we shipped that one to stable...

Stable might still require using the original minimizeToTray and alwaysShowTrayIcon names.

It's latest stable version, not Preview.

Yep, looks like that feature only works in Preview builds of the Terminal.
