I have been using iTerm2 for many years, and in that program you can have your tabs along the top but also at the right hand side of the main terminal window there is an area (called the "Toolbelt") with two smaller window panes, one on the top half of the screen and the other on the bottom. This is probably not a default configuration, it's probably something I figured out how to do ten or fifteen years ago and have been using that ever since. But anyway the two panes are arranged this way:
The topmost one is Profiles, which has a list of all the profiles I have created and which allows me to double-click on any profile to open it in a new tab and automatically log into the site. I say in a new tab, but there is actually a dropdown at the btoom of the pane that lets me select whether I want to open the site in a New Tab, New Window, New Horizontal Split, or New Vertical Spilt, I just personally prefer to always open in a new tab so that's how that dropdown is always set.
The bottom one is named Paste History but that's actually not accurate, it should be called Copy History because any time I copy something from the terminal window it appears there, and then if I want to paste any of those items back into the terminal I only need to double-click on the item. At the bottom of that pane is a small trashcan item which if clicked will offer to erase the "paste" history (a confirmation popup appears first so you don't accidentally erase it all). This comes in handy if you need to (for example) copy two or three non-contiguous lines from a sample config file and paste them into your actual config file - you'd don't need to keep jumping back and forth between tabs, you can just copy all three lines and then paste them one at a time from the history pane.
My question, in case you had not already guessed, is whether there is any way to have something like a "toolbelt" area with those specific two panes in Tabby?
I should note that the iTerm2 Toolbelt can have any of the following items in it: Actions, Captured Output, Command History, Jobs, Notes, Paste History, Profiles, Recent Directories, and Snippets. And apparently it can be placed to the left or the right of the main window, and if you don't run your terminal fullscreen there is even a way to slide it in and out (why??) but I prefer that it stay put on the right hand side and I only use the two items I mentioned above (I think some of the others require "shell integration" which I haven't enabled). Anyway, I watched several videos about Tabby and didn't see anything similar, but then again I only found one video talking about the iTerm2 toolbelt and what that guy has looks nothing at all like what I have (and frankly I would hate his layout, but to each his own).
