I'd like to have some way of opening a new tab in an existing
terminal.  This would make it possible to create keyboard shortcuts to
open a new terminal tab (rather than a new window), and to script
opening a program in a new tab (such as a non-GUI editor).

Ideally I'd like some way to make gnome-terminal do this by default,
so that any program that attempts to open a new terminal will end up
creating a new tab in my existing terminal window.

Theoretically this should work with --tab, but it does not. I’ll try to
have a look.

If a command-line option is available, this could be made to appear in
the “preferred applications” capplet.

Cheers,

Thanks!

I'd also like it for the x-terminal-emulator alternative, for all the
programs which start terminals that way.
