In the current implementation, the quake mode will ignore the launchMode setting and always launch in focus mode. This is fine for most users. But for the users who also want the tabs to be visible, the only way I think we can do that is to toggle focus mode from the command palette. I think starting the quake mode with an explicit switch should launch it in non focus mode. It should also respect the launchMode setting if this is defined in the configuration for the global summon action.

Maybe like this:

wt -w _quake --nonfocus

or

{
"keys": "win+`",
"launchMode": "default",
"command": {
"action": "globalSummon",
"name": "_quake",
"dropdownDuration": 200,
"toggleVisibility": true,
"monitor": "toMouse",
"desktop": "toCurrent"
}
}
