Description
Dupe Check

Describe the solution you'd like?
Yakuake/Guake have a great feature that keeps the application open when the last tab is closed. When you close the last tab, it just hides the window, but when you press the global hotkey to show the window again a new tab is created.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm used to using Yakuake/Guake which acts as a single window terminal that is available on a single hotkey (usually F12), so if I have a single tab open and I close it by pressing CTRL+D (or any other way) then Yakuake/Guake closes that tab and hides the window (doesn't close the app), but when I press F12 again Yakuake/Guake is displayed and a new tab is open.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by tracing how closing the final tab affects the terminal window and how the global hotkey restores it; compare those paths with the requested hide-and-reopen behavior. Done means closing the final tab leaves Warp running and the hotkey reveals the window with a new tab.
