Description of the new feature/enhancement

Most terminals, even ones developed by Microsoft (e.g. the one in VS Code), focus when pressing ctrl-`. Microsoft Terminal doesn't. It would be great if it did, as I currently can't really use it effectively since it breaks my workflow too much.

If this option already exists, please let me know. I couldn't find it anywhere.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

#653 appears to cover this. It has been implemented but the binaries have not been released yet.

@KalleOlaviNiemitalo @zadjii-msft cool! I'm not entirely sure if that's exactly what I'm looking for, but the #653 thread is very long. It refers to the terminal opening on a specific monitor (e.g. the one the cursor is on). That's not what I'm looking for. I simply would like the terminal window - that I've already opened - to focus when I press ctrl-`, but remain in its current location. If this is different from #653, perhaps a checkbox could be added to the settings like:

  • Move terminal to cursor location when pressing focus hotkey

Yea, just about everyone wants something different from that feature. That's why I wanted to make it as customizable as possible. Currently, there's about 12 different ways of summoning the terminal that we've come up with. 3 of those are going to land in 1.9 right now. I haven't had time to come around to all the monitor variations yet, so it'll just behavelike "monitor": "any" in 1.9.

The most up to date thread is now #8888, which is tracking all the future work for globalSummon and quakeMode.

@zadjii-msft cool. As far as I can tell that would cover my use case (and this issue). Thanks!
