A very common use case for me is that I need to look at (long) logs, so I want both the full width and height of my screen for that tab. However, I often also have a minor task in another tab that doesn't need much space - the upper right corner would be fine. Log counter, htop, a watch task, things like that. For example, I have currently our nginx logs open to see them scroll by, and I also have another tab where I have a running counter of 404s, 500s, etc. This overlaps the upper right corner of my log tail window, but the upper right corner of that is usually the least interesting part.
Describe the solution you'd like
Currently, I open the second, smaller tab in a new PuTTY instance and overlay it over Tabby. it looks like this:
The outcome is what I want, but the process is not ideal. I would like to be able to either:
a) create a layout like that, where one terminal has an L shape
b) create a layout that looks like the above, but where the yellow terminal simply overlaps the blue one - like I already do with external tools now
