Command line option to start focus mode with draggable title bar #20573

Description

Description of the new feature

Sometimes I want to programmatically launch focused terminal windows that work on a specific task (ex. get an agent to do something).

Focus mode is good for this, but there are two issues:

  1. When there are multiple windows spawned, I can't easily tell which focused window is what without a titlebar.
  2. Dragging the windows around is not really possible in focus mode. This is a problem once there are multiple windows.

Proposed technical implementation details

Basically, I would like to launch a windows terminal window that is similar to classic cmd.exe window (no tabs), but with the benefits that windows terminal brings.

It would also be nice to launch the process programmatically and then be able to kill it programmatically or wait for the process to exit to tell when it exits.

Maybe "classic mode" is a good name for this.
