Hi,

Consider this dummy command

wt -w %~n0 ^
nt --title="shared" --startingDirectory=%ALIAS_DIR% %COMMAND_SHARED% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo0:5000" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo0% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo1:5001" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo1% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo2:5002" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo2% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo3:5003" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo3% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo4:5004" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo4% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo5:5005" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo5% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo6:5006" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo6% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo7:5007" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo7% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo8:5008" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo8% %COMMAND% ; ^
nt --title="svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo9:5009" --startingDirectory=%svc-foo-bar-baz-boo-hoo9% %COMMAND%

This is something i use to spawn several microservices but the problem is because the services names are too long i can't read correctly the whole title. My question, would it be possible to create a tiled arrangement (programatically) that allows me to see at once all the titles? Consider I've got the terminal maximiez on a 2nd monitor of 1920x1080.

Of course I've already tried using the concept of panes https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/panes and the command split-pane but maybe it's because I didn't full understand the syntax is the reason why I haven't managed to accomplish this task yet.

Could you please put an example of how you'd create a 4x2 tiled session where all panes are the same size? Or 2x4? Would it be possible to create programatically something such as

Something where 1..8 were the same size and 0 was the same width but twice the height?

Thanks in advance!
