Allow spawning Zed in certain configurations or predetermined window layouts (e.g use Zed as Terminal or AI Assistant app)

[didier]

I love the snappiness of Zed and would like to use it for other purposes besides a text editor. Currently, I'd open Zed, then open Zed's terminal or assistant panel and go my way, but since we can snap both terminal views and assistant panel views to the editor area, I figured it would be nice to allow spawning Zed with some flags to open it in that state.

Use cases

Using Zed as your main terminal app

Using Zed as your main AI app

Spawning window presets (e.g. spawning multiple terminals inside Zed in a grid layout at the same time with different startup commands, e.g. for monitoring your servers.)

Something like ~/Applications/Zed.app --standalone {terminal,assistant} or some similar flags.
