This is just something I want, and if you don't want to merge it, no hard feelings, but I figured if I wanted it, maybe someone else will want it and the default value can keep the behavior the same as it was before.

I'm all for this, but the implementation isn't what I like.

Consider using subscription::run_with

Switch to run_with

@theryangeary

A few questions,
You've made a few PRs to this repo in the past few days.

Have you used AI in them?
I prefer to be notified if AI was used in the code.

I'm not against AI but it's just that I need to know if the code is going to work and that you are willing to vouch for the code generated by the models.

[theryangeary]

Yes, I have used AI to assist in these PRs. Sorry I did not notify you before, it wasn't intentional and hope it's forgivable in retrospect. FWIW I did review any generated code, wrote all PR descriptions myself, and am comfortable vouching for the code (although with less confidence for this particular file for the window tiling (different PR)). That part is a little outside of my wheelhouse admittedly, and if you don't want to merge it I'll understand. Most of these features I'm implementing for my own sake and just want to offer upstream for public benefit.

Sorry, accidentally pushed some commits to the wrong branch, pls ignore
