Zed to remember opened terminals by project #11841

Describe the feature

I work a couple of projects on Zed, so I need Zed to remember the opened terminals when I reopen a project.

Currently, if I open 3 terminals on project X and cd on them to different directories, Zed only remembers the number of terminals and displays it on all projects.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

I would love that to!

In my current workflow with tmux and neovim i switch projects ( sessions ) with <prefix> s. This is perfect as i can hop on another project, do work, then come back to my project and still have my session with my neovim open in a pane, my server running in another pane and any other terminal i might have open in that project for various reason.

I'm not sure if this is possible but what i would love in zed is to do something similar.

Have a project open ( a ) , with some terminals open that run a server, logged into a ssh session or whatever. Switch to a different project ( b ) via the Recent Project switcher and selecting with cmd + enter to keep the same window. When i eventually come back to project a, my terminal states are intact, the server is still running in a terminal, the ssh session still open in the other, etc.

Currently, in Zed i can do this with TMUX still. when i swtich to another project, i attach to tmux and go to this project session, and can have my panes and all. It works, but it would be really great to do it natively without tmux.
