Description

Description of the new feature

I'm using GlazeWM, which is a tiling window manager. It's possible to exclude certain applications based on window title or class. I would like to exclude only quake console, but the regular window terminal and wt quake console have the same window title and class

Proposed technical implementation details

Separate window title and/or class for quake console.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the window class registration code in the terminal's Win32 window implementation. Identify where the quake mode window is created and add a separate window class for it.
