Tired of having to right click and go to properties and enable quick edit. Is there a command I can run? a reg key I can modify from the cmd? Windows 10

In order to get to CMD properties in windows you have to open CMD and right click on the bar at the top of the window.– win10485748547348573Sep 19, 2019 at 14:33

The setting should stick all by itself if you go to the cmd properties dialog. You shouldn't need a registry hack. I just tested this myself and it sticks to whatever I last left it at.– Señor CMasMasSep 19, 2019 at 14:55

There is a regkey in:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console
There should be (or create it) a value QuickEdit
of type DWORD
, you can set it to 1.

Already answered here, update "QuickMode" setting in Windows Registry:
reg add HKCU\Console /v QuickEdit /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
However it will not affect currently opened window. But you can reopen a window:
:: Get QuickEdit Mode setting from Windows Registry
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=3*" %%A IN (`REG QUERY "HKCU\Console" /v QuickEdit`) DO (
set quickEditSetting=%%A %%B
)
if %quickEditSetting%==0x1 (
:: Disable QuickEdit Mode
reg add HKCU\Console /v QuickEdit /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
:: Open script in a new Command Prompt window
start "" "%~dpnx0" %* && exit
)
... script logic here ...
exit
