Configuration for multiple workspaces

[BANOnotIT]

Right now when you ask to open terminal it switches to the desktop that terminal was open at. Would be great to have some option to configure this behavior.

Options:

• select desktop with already opened terminal (current, default)
• open new instance of terminal for current virtual desktop
• move already open terminal to current desktop

Aside:
This issue was already solved in gnome-extension-toggler. Work done there might be beneficial to this project as well.

Thank you for the suggestion!
I understand how this feature could be useful, but it's currently outside the scope of this project. Quake-style terminals are generally optimized for quick access to a single instance rather than spawning multiple windows across virtual desktops, which can sometimes complicate the user experience. For advanced workflows requiring multiple terminals across different contexts, I’d recommend using a terminal multiplexer like tmux or screen, which can manage multiple terminal sessions within a single window seamlessly.

Thanks again for understanding, and I appreciate your engagement with the project!

Then let's narrow that feature to just one checkbox: "Move window into current workspace".

That'll help in my personal workflow, where I have two workspaces: the primary and the communications one. In the primary workspace, I do most of the work and terminal lives there, with tabs provided by kitty. But there are some times when I have to look in chats or communicate my findings there, in such cases I usually move my terminal into communications workspace, make it half transparent and switch back and forth between the chat app and the terminal.

Thanks for explaining. Moving the terminal across workspaces isn't planned for this project. I'd suggest using tmux or workspace shortcuts to manage terminals across different contexts more effectively.
