[SOLVED] Using tdrop with Tabby Terminal #427

I've been using Tabby Terminal cross-platform for a while, and the last thing I wanted was proper quake-support on Linux. Here's the command to make it happen.

# most of my options are personal choice
# until we get to here ────────┐
tdrop -mtaA -w 75% -x 12% -y 0 --class=tabby --name=tabby tabby recent
#                              └───────────┘ └──────────┘       └────┘

This is working across X and Wayland on Fedora 38. The important options are --class and --name, as Tabby will use different window names for additional instances, so the ability to target the correct class and name is important.

The most important thing is the command. Tabby is not a singleton out-of-the-box and will open more instances unless one of the action commands is given, such as open, paste or recent. The recent command with no options will target the current running Tabby instance and show the most recent tab, which is the expected behavior to re-show the current window.
