Terminal: Feature Request Option to add profiles to the Windows Start Menu

Created on 8 Aug 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: microsoft/terminal

Allow creating profile based entries in the Windows Start Menu

This will allow the user to launch the specific profile that they want without the need to open the default one

A button in the profile setting adds an entry in the Windows Start Menu with the icon profile and name, this entry launcher the windows terminal in this profile instead of the default one

SPEC REQUIRED

Specifier should build on work already done on #576, because I am betting that it'll be along the same path! (from @DHowett-MSFT)

Maybe can be solved with ability to pin secondary tiles to start?

This has little bits of #607 and #576 in it, but seems unique enough to warrant its own issue.

Backlog, spec required, triaged.

It would be great to be able to "Pin to Start" and "Pin to Taskbar" any profile we like. And then the profile opened via the Start (or Taskbar) tile should always open in a new window and the opened profile should become the default profile for this particular window, i.e. when I open a new tab in this window it should open the same profile.
