Terminal Icon

An AutoHotKey script to open Windows Terminal via the Ctrl+Alt+T keyboard shortcut.

Compiled shortcuts exist for both the mainline and preview versions of the Windows Terminal.

Executable icons sourced from the official microsoft/terminal repository.

Usage

Download your executable of choice from the releases section. After running the executable, you should be able to open a new Windows Terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.

Note that like any AutoHotkey script, you will need to re-run the executable after restarting your system. I recommend simply adding a shortcut to the program to your shell:startup folder* to alleviate this issue.

* i.e. %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Customising

If you would like to customise the script (including the hotkey) feel free to download it, modify, and compile.

Compiling

You can compile the script into an executable using AutoHotKey.
