Feature Request : functionality to do guake -e [command [args]] #720

Description

@ashishgaurav13

First off, great work with guake! I'm on Arch, and I use guake for nearly all of my cli activities. Recently, I got it to work with spacefm, by specifying the default terminal command to be
guake -n $(pwd) --show
Basically, if this command is TERM, then spacefm works by doing
$TERM -e <command, args>
The problem is that while urxvt etc. allow this natively, like you can do
urxvt -e /bin/bash -c zip --help
and this would open bash and pass
zip --help
to it, guake has the execute command functionality in the middle. So, you can do
guake -e <one-word-command> [more options]
or try
guake -e "command in quotes" [more options]
Unfortunately, spacefm doesn't have the option to set the command being passed in the TERM field. Would you be willing to accept a PR that adds this functionality? Like, if the last option is -e, the functionality becomes
guake -e [command [args]]
It's usually standard to have such execution abilities, I think.
Thanks once again, and guake is a great piece of software :)
