Zellij Run

Zellij includes a top-level run command that can be used to launch a new Zellij pane running a specific command:

eg.

$ zellij run -- git diff

OPTIONS:

    -c, --close-on-exit            Close the pane immediately when its command exits

    -h, --help                     Print help information
        --height <HEIGHT>          The height if the pane is floating as a bare integer (eg. 1) or
    -i, --in-place                 Open the new pane in place of the current pane, temporarily suspending it
    -n, --name <NAME>              Name of the new pane
    -s, --start-suspended          Start the command suspended, only running after you first presses
                                   ENTER
        --width <WIDTH>            The width if the pane is floating as a bare integer (eg. 1) or
                                   percent (eg. 10%)
    -x, --x <X>                    The x coordinates if the pane is floating as a bare integer (eg.
                                   1) or percent (eg. 10%)
    -y, --y <Y>                    The y coordinates if the pane is floating as a bare integer (eg.
                                   1) or percent (eg. 10%)

Note: to shorten this command to a more friendly length, see Completions under: CLI

This new pane will not immediately close when the command exits. Instead, it will show its exit status on the pane frame and allow users to press <ENTER> to re-run the command inside the same pane, or <Ctrl-c> to close the pane.

We feel this is a new and powerful way to interact with the command line.
