A useful script for Windows Terminal anywhere.

Primary LanguageAutoHotkey

savvy-winterm

An AutoHotKey script to open Windows Terminal from anywhere (Inspired by this guide). It respects the current state of the application:

  • If not running, runs it.
  • If running and in focus, minimizes.
  • If running and not in focus, brings it to focus.

Additionally, if Windows Explorer is open (and in focus), you can use the hotkey (by default, Win+Alt+C) to open the terminal at the current folder. Otherwise, it opens in the default user folder %USERPROFILE% or whatever your terminal was set to.

auto-term-anywhere.ahk is a v1 script. auto-term-anywhere-v2.ahk is a v2 script, converted conveniently using this v1-to-v2 converter.

TO-DO:

  1. Network locations create an issue

Remarks:

  1. If the terminal loses focus on launch and your default shell is in WSL, it might be related to microsoft/wslg#443
