I haven't found a simple way to go to Settings to re-enable "Hide the title bar" after disabling it. Could a simple way be added, for example by adding it as a task?

You can get to settings by any of the following methods:

  • Ctrl+P to open the command palette and search for it.
  • Ctrl+, to open Settings directly
  • Alt+Space to open the system menu available to all Win32 applications

Does that help? 😃

Oh, you can also get to the system menu by right-clicking the titlebar (also true of any Win32 application!)

The system menu doesn't contain an entry for Settings. I used Ctrl-Shift-T to open a second tab, which allowed me to use the dropdown menu to open Settings.
The point is that this isn't (easily) discover-able and users might get stuck.

Ah heck. It's been so long that 1.12 was in flighting that I forgot what changes went into which build.

I am pretty sure that 1.12 (now generally available!) offers Settings in the system menu. Would that address your concern?

I installed Terminal through the MS Store.. doesn't it get updated automatically?
I've now got 1.12.10732.0 but I see no Settings in the menu:
