Originally created by @isolune on GitHub (Oct 9, 2020).

Description of the new feature/enhancement

#6804 made it possible to strip the terminal of window decorations with the toggleFocusMode command.

It would be nice to invoke the terminal with this behavior already applied.

Proposed technical implementation details

A simple command line flag like:

wt.exe --focus-mode

to simplify the process:

wt.exe
*wait for terminal window to open*
*open command palette or press keybinding to start focus mode*

Duplicate of #7825

@alannt777 - I am not sure this is exact duplicate: in this ticket there is a request for command line argument, while in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7825 the request is for launchMode setting (the fix for which is in PR: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/7873)

@alannt777 - absolutely agree, that https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/4632 mentions a command-line option, and this one is definitely duplicate to it.

Just mentioned that this is not duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7825 (so this one will not be closed by mistake when https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7825 gets closed).
