Description of the new feature/enhancement

Elevated session (admin) quake mode

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Nearly everything i need to do requires elevation, so most of the time quake mode is not usefull for me, would be great if there was a way to prompt for elevation when i activate quake mode, maybe this is already possible, just dont see how

Well, technically, you could just manually spawn the quake window by running wt -w _quake elevated. Or if you're already running the Terminal elevated (and only an elevated window), then pressing the quake mode keybinding will create the quake window elevated.

Otherwise, there's #632 for configuring a profile (or every profile) to launch elevated. Does that sound like it'd work?

You can also use "gsudo" to run elevated processes as an alternative for now. It wil run an elevated proces in the same terminal window instead of spawning a new one.
