Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/10092

State: closed
Merged: Yes

⚠️ this pr targets #9977

Summary of the Pull Request

This adds support for part of the monitor property for globalSummon. It also goes a little off-spec:

"monitor": "any"|"toCurrent"|"toMouse"
  • monitor: This controls the monitor that the window will be summoned from/to
    • "any": Summon the MRU window, regardless of which monitor it's currently on.
    • "toCurrent"/omitted: (default): Summon the MRU window TO the monitor with the current foreground window.
    • [NEW] "toMouse": Summon the MRU window TO the monitor where the mouse cursor is.

When I was playing with this, It felt like toMouse was always what I wanted, not toCurrent. We can always just comment that out if we think that's contentious - I'm aware I didn't originally spec that.
