Description of the new feature/enhancement

Currently when I pin the windows terminal to my taskbar and open it, it will open in windowed mode. I would like to have a setting, where the windows terminal opens in fullscreen mode per default.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

  • Add setting openFullscreen

You guys should reopen this issue. Fullscreen is not the same as maximized, and the patch only address maximized state. Not fullscreen.
