Description of the new feature/enhancement

Tools such as Visual Studio Code or even MobaXterm support side panels. Imagine something like:

  • The red lines showcase the various profile names
  • The blue lines indicate the current open connections to each profile. Be that tabs or side panels. The UX for tabs vs. sidepanels needs to be figured out.

It would be neat if Windows Terminal had an optional side panel support. Suggested keyboard shortcut:
ctrl+b

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

No idea.
