Steps to reproduce
- Run
wt --window _quaketo try out the Quake mode - Close all Quake mode window, then open a new regular WT window, run
wt -w 0 sp -s 0.4 pwshwithin it
Expected Behavior
The command wt -w 0 sp -s 0.4 pwsh should split the current window and run PowerShell in the new pane
Actual Behavior
After trying out the Quake mode, running wt -w 0 sp -s 0.4 pwsh from WT (regular window, non-Quake mode) will always start a new window and split it over there, instead of splitting the current window.

Research direction
Start by reproducing wt --window _quake and then wt -w 0 sp -s 0.4 pwsh in a regular Windows Terminal window. Trace how window targeting changes after Quake mode has been opened; done means the command splits the current non-Quake window rather than opening and splitting a new one.
