This is totally by design. -f before any subcommands opens the window in fullscreen mode. There's no frame in fullscreen mode by design. There's a variety of QoL improvements to fullscreen mode we're tracking in #3486

Derp.

-F is fullscreen.

-f is "focus mode". It should still have borders around the window though. Something that looks like:

You should be able to leave focus mode with the "Toggle Focus Mode" command in the Command Palette

Capture
@zadjii-msft I fail to see how using --focus without a new tab creates a borderless app with no x button is intended to work that way that's not even in fullscreen. it should either say hey error can't focus without a tab specified or it should create a tab with the default profile like wt with no additional params does. the --focus usual behavior is to focus the right tab or window so the user doesn't have to look for it.

Focus mode is a feature. An intentional mode for the window without any other chrome. There are still tabs in focus mode, they're just hidden.

Pretty sure that --focus has been used to launch in focus mode for the Terminal since we introduced that argument.
