When opening powershell
, cmd
, bash
, or any other REPL from the Run dialog (Win + R) via the Windows Terminal app ("WT" from now on), I can type as though WT's focused, but its taskbar icon isn't highlighted like it would normally be if a window is in focus, indicating to me that Windows doesn't actually realize that it's in focus.
The issue arises when I use Alt + Tab
to switch to another app and use Alt + Tab
again to switch back to WT. When that happens, I'd expect WT to be focused again, but instead it puts WT in the last position, so I end up switching to the second-most recent app instead of back to WT. Is there anything I can do to make Windows properly add it to the Alt + Tab
menu history when launched from the Run dialog?
