Originally created by @jericjan on GitHub (Nov 22, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

1.15.2874.0

Windows build number

10.0.19041.928

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Boot Windows
  2. Launch Windows Terminal
  3. Press Windows+`

Expected Behavior

The quake menu should pop up.

Actual Behavior

On the first launch after boot, It doesn't work unless I go into the Terminal's settings and then click "Save". Interestingly enough, if I close all my Terminal windows, including the _quake window, then I open Terminal again, Quake opens without me needing to click on "Save"

Is there another application that opens when you hit your hotkey to summon the quake window? Also, certain applications being in the foreground will prevent the quake window from being summoned (such as an app like OneNote) - are you switching to a different application after launching terminal but before pressing Windows + `?

Actually, after my PC Boots, I mainly run Terminal through a batch file on my Desktop. If I open the Terminal normally, Quake does indeed work. If it helps, I set the batch file's ftype to wt -w 0 new-tab -d . "%1" %*

Fascinating! We've never investigated what happens if you set Terminal as the default file type association for something, especially not something so fundamental as a batch file. I'm not totally sure what to do with this 😆!

If you launch Terminal with -w 0 -d . cmd from the Run dialog, does it still break Quake mode?

Alright, so I tried that and what ends up happening is that pressing the shortcut seems to open up a normal Terminal window or a tab if one already exists.
