pick terminal profile on startup

goyalyashpal commented 5 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My usecase requires me to use different shells at different times. Currently it is not possible in wezterm to specify a different shell for current tab on startup on the go (i.e. in same window, without fiddling in configurations etc).

Describe the solution you'd like

Some option to enable a dialog asking for which shell/termial profile to use for opening the current wezterm tab.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Some terminals like ConEmu provide this ability in right click context menu of the tab bar to select the profile from there. But wezterm doesn't have that tab bar context menu in the first place.
VSCodium has this option in its command palette: Terminal: Create New Terminal (With Profile)

Additional context

I looked into the command palette (Ctrl-Shift-p) of wezterm too, but i couldn't find a related entry

$ wezterm --version
wezterm 20240203-110809-5046fc22

$ systeminfo | grep -Ei '^os (n|v)|system t'
OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 10 Home Single Language
OS Version:                10.0.19045 N/A Build 19045
System Type:               x64-based PC

Hi @goyalyashpal, have you considered using wezterm start. You can configure wezterm to spawn windows and tabs and split the windows, change directory, run initial command, ect. you can even add args to wezterm start.

I am personally planning to implement something similar to wezterm start -- webdev for work

hi! if i recall correct, it opens a new window; and the calling tab has to keep running too.

both of these are no no.

wez / wezterm
