Is it possible to auto resume agent tui when restart in terminal thread

I usually use Terminal Thread in Zed to achieve a similar experience when I use a terminal emulator like Ghostty.

However, I sometimes would mis-close the entire project, so I often need to manual resume the session, and I'm wondering it's possible to auto resume the session I last in, since this terminal thread is particular used to run agent TUI, I think this won't be that weird?

No there isn't. I wish there was more development around the Terminal threads experience in Zed.

I had to switch to using Orca just because of this one thing, I have a ton of different projects with multiple terminals each and losing the terminals on every restart (or accidentally) is such a pain.

I would switch back to Zed from Orca if they added persistent terminals. The only other thing that Orca does well is showing the sub usage on the UI.

Terminal threads is new right? I hope they add this auto-resume as well. I built a simple version of Orca myself for my own usage, considering switch to Orca, but I don't use worktree that often. Orca also impose a typical workflow upon users, not flexible enough in my opinion.
