From the existing GUI, I want to open a terminal using a QPushButton/QRadioButton. I'm unable to find anything online about using the Xterm inside a GUI. I tried to implement a Urxvt terminal, but I'm facing some problems.

I need to work with several terminal windows simultaneously, and it's very inconvenient to constantly have to switch between different terminal windows. Is there a way to have multiple tabs in one window? I know it's possible on macOS and Linux, but can't figure out how to configure that on Windows 10.
Yes.
You can use The new Windows Terminal or VSCode Integrated Terminal.
Windows Terminal:
In the new terminal app, you can have multiple PowerShell profiles as tabs.
so that you can work with several terminal tabs simultaneously.
The UI looks like browser tabs. You can download it from the Microsoft store or Github.

VSCode:
In Visual Studio Code, open New Terminal from Terminal Menu on Top bar.
On the right, you can Maximize panel size and can choose the terminal profiles.
The best thing about this vscode terminals is...
Along with seeing them as tabs in the right side, you can split them side by side and work on them at same time.

Question
I've seen lots of ways to open a new terminal "tab/pane/view" using an external Terminal app like the macOS Terminal app or iTerm using a shell script or Apple Script but is it possible to write a script that opens up two different VS Code integrated terminal "tabs/panes/views" in the current workspace?
My Use Case
I'm starting my application and I want the client side logs and server side logs to open in separate integrated terminal windows side-by-side when the build completes.
What I'm Not Looking For
I've seen lots of ways to open a new VSCode terminal tab from within the VSCode settings/UI/key commands/command palette but I specifically need a way to do it using a shell script.
Thanks!

My problem is: The settings for about:networking only work for the current session. And I have no interest to always start Firefox from the console. Is there a way to launch Firefox (under Mac OS X) via Finder and to permanently enable those logging features?

I'm not a Mac user, so this might be not the best way. However, you might try using an approach similar to running Firefox with multiple profiles, as documented here on MDN. It suggests creating an Automator application that runs a shell script. You can follow this guide, which tells you to:
Open Automator
Go to File->New->Application
Choose Utilities group under Library
Drag Run Shell Script to the workflow pane on the right
Paste the script used to run Firefox with logging enabled
Choose Save As and store it somewhere
You should be good to go.
I'm specifically hoping to find out if there is a way to create a new Mission Control desktop space using the Terminal, or even using Automator.
My apologies if this is a trivial question. I'm fairly new to using the Terminal and I've been googling things having to do with Terminal manipulation of desktop spaces/Mission Control to no avail.
"Alt+Tab" is used to switch a windows app to foreground, does anyone know how to do it with command line? or any API?
Check out KeyStuff: http://www.richpasco.org/utilities/keystuff.html
It's a pretty handy command line utility for issuing various keyboard commands to Windows. I haven't tested it extensively, but entering the Alt-Tab command works for me.
