Description Laurent CADET 2017-09-30 06:58:59 CEST
new invocation of "xfce4-terminal --tab -x ..." opens new tab in last detached or launched terminal windows instead of active (with focus) terminal windows.
"roxterm --tab -e ..." was able to create new tab in active terminal windows but roxterm is discontinued.
last dbus registered terminal windows should not catch every new tabs and should let active terminal windows do the job.
this is the only caveat I found so far in my quest of replacing roxterm with a sane alternative but it breaks my workflow.

Hmm, let me think about it.
What if no terminal window is active?
Comment 2 Laurent CADET 2017-09-30 19:24:35 CEST
if no terminal is active, when my browser has focus for instance, new tab is openned inside last launched terminal windows
