Split Terminal Window Pane - One Terminal per Explorer Pane #1006

Title: Split Terminal Window Pane - One Terminal per Explorer Pane

Description:

I am a user of Marta, and I find it to be an excellent file manager for macOS. However, I have encountered a limitation in the current implementation of the terminal pane. Currently, Marta only supports displaying a single terminal pane, which can be inconvenient when working with multiple file explorer panes.

I would like to request a feature that allows users to have a separate terminal pane for each file explorer pane. This would enable users to have two (or more) terminal panes displayed simultaneously, each corresponding to a specific file explorer pane. This feature would greatly improve the workflow for users who frequently work with multiple directories and require separate terminal instances for each.

The proposed feature could work as follows:

  1. When a user opens multiple file explorer panes, a corresponding terminal pane should be created for each explorer pane.
  2. The terminal panes should be displayed below their respective file explorer panes, allowing users to view and interact with them simultaneously.
  3. Users should be able to toggle the focus between the terminal panes using a keyboard shortcut (e.g., Shift+Tab).
  4. The terminal panes should maintain their state and history even when hidden or when the focus is switched to another pane.

I believe this feature would significantly enhance the usability of Marta for users who rely on both file explorer and terminal panes in their daily workflow. Thank you for considering this feature request.
