Feature-Request: Add a profile to open "Tab Sets" instead of one-by-one

[AdrianoCahete]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Tried to search in the issues, but cannot find anything with "tab sets" or something like that... :/

The idea is to open a set of tabs, in a panel, for example. Today I'm using cmder and it has that feature: Save a profile with multiple consoles, and when opening, it is self-arranged in sets like panels.

It needed to run projects that work as micro-frontends/micro-services and manage their states.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Give the ability to save multiple profiles and summon the set/multiple profiles with a shortcut, maybe?

I'm not sure if it is exactly what you are asking for, but #3992 will be added to 1.12 and gives the ability to save an action that runs multiple commands at once, e.g. make an action in your settings.json file called "Create My Layout" that will show up in the command palette / as a hotkey

{ "name": "Create My Layout", "command": { 
    "action": "multipleActions",
    "actions": [
        // Create a new tab with 3 panes
        { "action": "newTab", "tabTitle": "Work", "colorScheme": "One Half Dark" },
        { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical", "profile": "Windows PowerShell", "tabTitle": "Work", "colorScheme": "Campbell Powershell", },
        { "action": "splitPane", "split": "horizontal", "profile": "Windows PowerShell", "tabTitle": "Work", "colorScheme": "Campbell Powershell", },
        // Create a second tab
        { "action": "newTab", "tabTitle": "Misc"},
        // Go back to the first tab and zoom the first pane
        { "action": "prevTab", "tabSwitcherMode": "disabled" },
        { "action": "moveFocus", "direction": "first"},
        "togglePaneZoom"
        ]
}}

The final idea is the same! Thanks!

Do I close this issue now or wait for that issue to be released?

[Rosefield]

I'm not a maintainer, I just happened to implement that feature. If you're happy you can close the issue whenever, otherwise I'm sure someone will come along on Monday and do whatever is appropriate.

Yea, this is kinda covered by #3992, a bit covered by #756, and we'll finally let you put these action in the dropdown in #1571. So until then,

/dup #756
/dup #3992
