This adds a new configuration option that controls whether folders dropped onto the Ghostty dock icon open in a new tab (default) or a new window. The option accepts two values: - tab: Opens folders in a new tab in the main window (default) - window: Opens folders in a new window This is useful for users who prefer window-based workflows over tab-based workflows when opening folders via drag and drop.
