I have been using WT for cmd and pwsh and the other console, whatever it's called, for the Ubuntu bash.

I know WT can open bash as well, but I use tmux with bash, so I don't need the extra functionalities of WT. What I need is a way to switch between the Ubuntu bash and Windows cmd with a single stroke. Having separate taskbar entries let me do just that (Win+1 and Win+2).

Now my question is: can I have a separate taskbar entry for a single specific profile of WT? MSYS2 has separate exe files for launching separate terminals for each of their shells, and the exe files are essentially cmd-scripts inside. But making exe out of those shell scripts let the terminals pinnable in taskbar. I want that for Ubuntu bash of WT.

 

Sorry for asking what may be a question irrelevant to this project.
