Steps to reproduce:

Add a command line switch that exposes "Restore Recently Closed Window" to enable single shortcut restoration of a closed window.

Using a custom shortcuts on Niri I can open Firefox (Mod+B) and close it (Mod+Q).

If I accidentally press Mod+Q or CTRL+Q instead of CTRL+T, I close the whole window instead of just a single tab. To restore the Window, I need to

  • open a new Window (Mod+B)
  • then restore the window (CTRL+SHIFT+T) as new window and
  • then close the first window.

Using a command line parameter I could assign for e.g. Mod+Shift+B to restore the last closed Window. If Firefox is not running this could also default to restoring the last session (see also: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283426)

Exposing this already existing features on the command line should be fairly straight forward. I'd be happy to work on a PR if this is a feature you deem desirable too.
