Feedback

According to the note at the end of the "Open a new profile instance" section of the command line arguments documentation, it is not possible to open a new tab:

The -p flag is used to specify the Windows Terminal profile that should be opened. Substitute "Ubuntu-18.04" with the name of any terminal profile that you have installed. This will always open a new window. Windows Terminal is not yet capable of opening new tabs or panes in an existing instance.

I assume this is an oversight in the documentation, since wt nt exists, unless there is some nuance I am missing?
