   This sounds like you're looking for #9996.

   You can immediately launch the quake window with wt -w _quake. Or, you should be able to convert an existing window to be the quake window by renaming the window to _quake (with the "Rename window" action in the Command Palette). That of course assumes there isn't an already running quake window, of course.

   Does that make sense?

   Ok, these options are interesting, but that doesn't actually solve the main issue.
   Why should I right commands or doing renames when I should launch Terminal and Quake window should meet me immediately?
   (Btw, there should be option in settings to make Quake mode default for launching)
   And even if I do not check this potential future option and there is default window opened, I should just press Win+` and this window should become Quake, because I checked "make new instance add to existing window" option in settings (if you do not check it, then it should create separate Quake window like it already does now)

   I wish to second that.

   We simply need an option to launch in quake mode as default (as there are options for maximized etc.).

   Also, quake mode should NOT launch in Focus mode by default, that does not make sense. (at least it should be configurable).

   Currently I always need 4 steps to get my windows terminal:

   • launch it from taskbar
   • then launch quake mode
   • close the other window
   • take quake window out of focus mode

   This is annoying xD

    Okay yea, between the two of you, it sounds like you're looking for

    /dup #9996
    /dup #9992

    FYI you don't need to use the quakeMode action to summon the window - you could always just rebind win+` to a plain old globalSummon action. Then you'd summon whatever terminal window you were already using, without the focus mode baggage attached. You can even use globalSummon with a dropdownDuration if that's really important (though, you can't currently dock the window to the top of the monitor outside the _quake window).

    Sorry, I do not seem to understand this. I have now put this globalSummon stuff in my JSON settings, still I have to perform the same steps to get my quake window, also the focus mode is still on on first launch.

    I just want this terminal to launch in quake mode without focus mode, why is that so difficult? xD
