Taskbar icon cannot be hidden about windows-terminal-quake HOT 12 CLOSED

@GoodbyeNJN Thank you for reaching out!

Does this always happen, even if you restart either windows-terminal-quake or Windows Terminal?

from windows-terminal-quake.

@flyingpie Yes, this happens all the time regardless of restarting windows-terminal-quake or Windows Terminal.

@GoodbyeNJN Could you check your "Actions" in Windows Terminal?

My suspicion is that this is due to Windows Terminal's own Quake mode, which also maps to "Windows + ~":

Could you try to remove or change the action, see what happens?

from windows-terminal-quake.

@flyingpie I tried removing the 'Windows + ~' hotkey bindings from Windows Terminal, or changing the windows-terminal-quake hotkeys to 'Ctrl + ~', and both ended up with the same result. Even if I changed both hotkey bindings at the same time, I still couldn't get the Windows Terminal icon to hide properly.

@GoodbyeNJN Does this also happen if you use a different key then tilde?

from windows-terminal-quake.

@flyingpie I tried Ctrl+Space, Ctrl+D0, Alt+Space, but none of them could hide the icons properly.

@GoodbyeNJN Interesting! Just so we're on the same page, we're talking about this thing, right?

from windows-terminal-quake.

@flyingpie Yes, we do communicate the same thing. I simply recorded a gif and you can see what's currently happening on my computer.

@GoodbyeNJN Thank you for the gif! I'll try to reproduce this with the same setup. Could you try to run the non-preview version of Windows Terminal, see if that makes a difference?

from windows-terminal-quake.

@flyingpie I tried the non-preview version of Windows Terminal and it still not hide. I doubt it's an issue with the developer preview of Windows 11

from windows-terminal-quake.

@GoodbyeNJN Yeah I wasn't assuming that either, but just ruling things out.

Next guess, when WTQ starts, it looks for an existing "WindowsTerminal" process, but the preview version is called "WindowsTerminalPreview", so it doesn't find it, and starts a new one.

This new one is started using "wt.exe" ("WindowsTerminalCommand"-setting), which presumably starts the stable build of Windows Terminal.

You could take a look under "App execution aliases", see if both "Windows Terminal" and "Windows Terminal Preview" are in there. Then switch the active one to "Windows Terminal Preview", and try again:

Alternatively you could try to change the "WindowsTerminalCommand"-property to point to the preview build, but that's less nice. Maybe useful for debugging though:

  "WindowsTerminalCommand": "C:/Program Files/WindowsApps/Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview_1.20.10572.0_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe/WindowsTerminal.exe"

Hopefully one of the provided solutions have helped. I've added some of the problems found to the docs.

If the problem persists, feel free to re-open this issue, or open a new one.
