So, I'm in a graphical terminal (xfce4-terminal) and I was wondering, would there be a way to type a command, and it run in a new terminal window?? An example would be like, say that I want to open a .txt file, but I want it in a different window, instead of the one that I'm currently using because of whatever reason. Would there be a way for me to type something along the lines of
and have it bring up a new terminal window, in which "example.txt" is being viewed with nano, and the original window is still there and nano is not running on it. If all of that makes since, maybe I'm making it sound too complex.
