Originally created by @alexanderrichards on GitHub (Jul 26, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.9.1942.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

simply summon quake mode window

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

I can find nowhere in the documentation any way for Quake mode to use anything other than the default profile. I'd like to switch it to use a different profile while keeping the default for the normal terminal window unchanged. Is this possible?

At the moment, not really.

  • You could do something like wt -w _quake -p {your profile name} - that'll launch the Terminal into quake mode with the profile of your choice.
  • You could always rebind quakeMode to a generic globalSummon action. That'd let you just summon any Terminal window, not just the quake one.
  • Otherwise, you could wait for #9992 to be able to change the defaultProfile of the _quake window separately from the normal default
