Hello,

Thank you for the great work in wt! Appoligize if this has been mentioned before but:

Would it be possible to have a global hotkey toggle to minimize/maximize terminal to the system tray? For example, "MobaXterm" uses Ctrl+M to minimize and maximize globally as a hotkey. Can something similar be done for Microsoft Windows Terminal?

Attached is how it looks like in MobaXterm (just a example)

Hi! I think you're looking for #5727. This is unfortunely still a backlog item, which means there's currently no plan to implement it.

You may also find #653 interesting.

I wouldn't say no plan - there's definitely a plan (see #9274, #9854). "backlog" might not be entirely correct anymore 😋
