@shriharshmishra you can do this via a keybinding! Could you please take a look at the documentation here and see if this addresses your request? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/terminal-chat#assigning-a-keybinding-to-terminal-chat

(Maybe this behavior needs to be made more discoverable.)

@doggy8088 It appears you may have overlooked mentioning the step of clicking the 'Add New' button first.

@shriharshmishra I don't think this should be closed, there should be a shortcut key for this by default.
Most users won't know to add a custom shortcut key (I didn't). I had been using the command pallet shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + P and then typing chat and then hitting Enter as my work around that was very annoying.
