Dear all

i would like to suggest and feature that would allow to open profile as a new tab to existing window.

Now when i do wt -p PROFILE or wt new-tab -p PROFILE it always opens new window.

If it is already possible could someone tell me what i am doing wrong?

Thank you.

I would to link keepass with "windows terminal" to open ssh connections inside a existing window. But currentliy I am not able to create the new tab inside of an existing window by the command "wt new-tab". This command will spawns a new window always.
