Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Currently it is only possible to drag the terminal window by clicking on the (small) empty space between the + sign and the minimize/maximize buttons.

Proposed technical implementation details

It would be nice if the Terminal window would behave like Edge or Chrome where the + button is right near the last tab and you can drag the window by clicking on the empty space between the + symbol and the minimize button:
