      opts[pos] = opts[pos] or {}
      table.insert(opts[pos], {
        ft = "snacks_terminal",
        size = { height = 0.4 },
        title = "%{b:snacks_terminal.id}: %{b:term_title}",
        filter = function(_buf, win)
          return vim.w[win].snacks_win
            and vim.w[win].snacks_win.position == pos
            and vim.w[win].snacks_win.relative == "editor"
