Description of the new feature/enhancement

Would be nice if the quake shortcut launched the app if it wasn't running.
OR if the app could start in quake mode when start with windows is enabled.

I started liking quake mode on my small laptop its the best way to have it.
However, to get it working I have to open an instance of the terminal first, hit the quake mode shortcut and then close the first terminal instance.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

You could technically create your own shortcut that runs the commandline args to summon a quake window. Just make a cmd batch or powershell ps1 script that executes the command and then exits itself.

I believe this is already being tracked in issue #9996.

Good idea, if you know the command to launch a new instance in quake mode that would be great.

Yep, this is /dup #9996.

The command you're looking for is wt -w _quake
