Do you want to create keyboard Shortcut to open Windows Terminal?
The new Windows Terminal is now available officially 1.0. But as a power user (that’s why you use Terminal, right?), you might want to open it in any context with just a few keystrokes.
I myself use to press Windows R, then type cmd, enter to open the good old Command Prompt. I want the same thing to open Windows Terminal.
UPDATED Dec 2020: from now on, you can simply type wt in run to launch the terminal
This is how to do it
- Windows R, type . (the dot) then enter. This will open your home folder.
- Create a shortcut from C:\Users\lockevn\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe (remember to change “lockevn” to your Windows username) to your home folder, rename it to what you like. Mine is term.
From now on, when I want to open Windows Terminal, I press Windows R, type “term”, then enter
