Description of the new feature/enhancement
Currently, using the Windows right-click context menu option Open in Terminal is slow and painful, due to it executing in a new Window, for which I have to face an elevatation prompt. It is simply faster and more practical to copy paste the path from explorer w/ keyboard shortcuts than using the context menu option.
To get most things done on Windows, you need to run applications as elevated processes, which results in a prompt I have to face every time I use the Open in Terminal shortcut. And if it isn't bad enough, idk why, but the Windows work machine I'm using always loses focus off of elevated prompts, so I have to use the mouse to confirm.
I also believe that with the introducion of tabs, there is a bit of purpose in increasing the number of tabs, not windows.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Haven't gotten around to looking at the code yet.
Using the Open in Terminal option in Windows Explorer right-click context menu would open and focus on the tab. Option would be set in Windows Terminal settings.
