I'd love to know how I can fire up the terminal with commands.
I just found out that wt.exe works, but I am not yet able to figure out how to pass commands to the terminal. (If that's even possible)

Just something like: wt.exe ssh user@host.com -t 'cd /whatever'

I already set wsl to default, so that doesn't matter, but I could even imagine choosing a shell, besides using the default one wt.exe --shell wsl --commands ...
