gnome-terminal-new-tab-in-existing-window
=========================================
Anything else to explain besides the name?
```bash
gnome-terminal-new-tab-in-existing-window [any additional options here]
```
This flimsy wrapper behaves like `gnome-terminal --tab ...`, but opens a new tab in the
existing window if possible. Any options are passed directly to `gnome-terminal`.
It does nothing more than set two environment variables, `GNOME_TERMINAL_SERVICE` and
`GNOME_TERMINAL_SCREEN`.
## Dependencies
* `busctl`
* Get current bus name and screen ID of `gnome-terminal`
* [Activate Window By Title](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5021/activate-window-by-title/)
(GNOME Extension)
* Activate the existing window after a new tab opened
* Supports both of X and Wayland, maybe
* This extension seemed to be easier than to use the
[portable one](https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-activation-v1#xdg_activation_v1:request:activate)
