Description of the new feature

I have my desktop environment fully bootstrapped automatically via pwsh and wt CLI. However the one glaring gap is:

  • I can't specify the zoom level on each pane individually (and --size has no impact on this)

Each pane has a different purpose and need different levels of scaling against the default. I would also be okay with a absolute rather than relative flag like: --font-size 12px

Example Terminal Window 1
