Can I open a new tab from the command line?

See original GitHub issue

Hi, thanks for extraterm it’s a great step up from mintty 😃. What I’m looking for is to integrate it with other tools I’m using, e.g. Sublime text has an “Open Terminal Here” that I got working with mintty despite windows and cygwin.

Any command line option that would allow me to start a new extraterm tab with parameters of my choice. For reference this is what I have with mintty:

{

	"terminal": "C:/usr/cygwin64/bin/mintty.exe",
	
	"parameters": ["/bin/env", "CHERE_INVOKING=1", "/bin/bash", "-l"]

}

Thanks !

Internally Extraterm has a concept of commands which you can trigger from key shortcuts, context menus, and the command palette. A general way to execute commands (like open new tab) from outside Extraterm is certainly in the planning.

This request would be cover by a command line scripting API #132 .
