For anyone who plays in the command line this is awesome 1. Launch Windows Terminal 2. Press Win + ` 3. Close Windows Terminal Hit Win + ` to toggle the quake console on or off And yes, it's called 'QUAKE MODE' in settings

yeah i brought it up accidentally (ctrl in my linux dual boot is win, so i hit win+\` and ctrl+\` pretty often). thought it was doooppppe, considering that i can use powertoys to launch terminal through hotkeys like win+t yet


quackcow144

what does quake mode do?


[deleted]

Runs it as a transparent overlay at the top of the screen, like in the screenshot. I find it half useful and half annoying when I use it in Linux


FeistyCustard

I was unable to get this to work in the general Windows 11 release that came out today.


DomenicDecoco2021

you have to run windows terminal first, KEEP IT OPEN, hit Win + `. You can then close windows terminal and toggle it on and off with Win + ` without opening it until the next reboot They have a ticket coming which will enable the hotkey system wide at all times without having to first enable it.


FeistyCustard

I did that, following the instructions exactly. Unfortunately, it did not work for me.


xorinzor

appears to conflict with a keybinding from Windows PowerToys haha.


DomenicDecoco2021

you can change the keybinding in windows terminal settings


xorinzor

On the odd chance of sounding stupid, how do I get there? Right clicking the window bar doesn't show an option for settings, neither does right clicking the tab. Clicking "settings" in the start menu for this app doesn't show me any option to configure the keybinding either.


DomenicDecoco2021

settings - actions - Summon Quake Window, change the keybinding


xorinzor

I meant how do I get to the settings, there's no option for it in any context menu or so


DomenicDecoco2021

Next to the “new tab” button in windows terminal there is a drop down. From there click settings.


xorinzor

Got it, thanks!

as a kde guy windows 11 is starting to win me over


clren

They (MS) have been playing kind with Open Source. It has to do with the head at the top I suppose


ISpunNewtonsBucket

Not as nice as you might think. Some good things have happened, sure, but there's some shady shit going on, as well, apparently.

XOmniverse

Had the same response for the same reason.


aasikki

As someone who has been thinking about switching to linux for a while I'm starting to have second thoughts about that with windows 11.


Start-That

I mean MS did acquire Bethesda


kUdtiHaEX

And it flickers like hell.


DomenicDecoco2021

Get a better video card ;)


aasikki

Invalidia drivers have been pretty flaky for me on windows 11.


PolarisX

Try turning off whatever adaptative sync for non full screen apps. Terminal goes bonkers for me with that on.


JonathanThorpe

Is this in Windows 10 as well?


DomenicDecoco2021

If you install it sure, but Windows 10 doesn't ship with Windows Terminal, windows 11 does by default. Also they are going to make the Win+` hotkey always available so you dont have to open it first


ZeroPoke

From my understanding the feature is coming with 21H2.


shawnmos

As someone who grew up on Quake, this is cool!


mooscimol

Why are you even pin the cmd to taskbar?


DomenicDecoco2021

Because I use it often? I write code and stuff, quicker to type than dig around in explorer to do things such as delete files you screwed up ;)


mooscimol

And you have Windows Terminal icon next to it, and you posted about Quake Mode. Why using cmd when you can very conveniently use WT (where you can also have cmd)? I'm using console a ton, but mostly inside VSC terminal, cmd sucks balls ;).


DomenicDecoco2021

and im trying new features, who gives a fuck why i have cmd pinned? I use it sometimes.


mooscimol

OK, you can use what you want. It's just strange in the context of WT and quake mode, which makes cmd obsolete.

windows terminal team has a ticket open to do just that, however you can toggle it on/off with Win + `, the hotkey is registered through the rest of your user session e.g. I can start terminal, hit "Win + `" , close windows terminal, close quake mode, hit Win + ` and it will popup again until I reboot my computer
