How do I open Windows Terminal with a specific profile like PowerShell?
windows-terminal lets you launch with a chosen shell profile using the `wt` command. Run `wt -p powershell` to open with PowerShell, or substitute your profile name. You can also chain profiles with semicolons: `wt -p powershell ; -p cmd` opens both in separate tabs. Profile names match those in your settings.json configuration.
What's the wt command to split a pane in Windows Terminal?
windows-terminal supports split panes via the `wt` command with split syntax. Use `wt -p powershell ; split-pane -p cmd` to create a vertical split, or add `-H` for horizontal: `wt split-pane -H -p powershell`. You can nest multiple splits to build complex layouts before the terminal launches.
Can I open Windows Terminal at a specific working directory?
windows-terminal accepts a `-d` flag to set the starting directory. Run `wt -d C:\Users\YourName\Projects` to launch in that folder. Combine it with profile selection: `wt -p powershell -d C:\code` opens PowerShell in your code directory. This works across all panes and tabs in your layout.
How can I create multiple tabs in Windows Terminal from command line?
windows-terminal opens multiple tabs by chaining commands with semicolons in the `wt` command. `wt -p powershell ; -p cmd ; -p wsl` creates three tabs with different shells. Each tab inherits your default settings unless you override the profile, directory, or other parameters per tab.
What does windows-terminal enable for automating terminal launch?
windows-terminal supports full automation through `wt` command-line syntax: define profiles, directories, splits, and startup commands in a single invocation. You can save complex layouts as scripts or batch files, then execute them to recreate your development environment instantly. Combine profiles, panes, and `-e` for command execution on startup.
How do I open a new terminal window maximized or in fullscreen?
windows-terminal doesn't expose fullscreen or maximize flags in the `wt` command itself, but you can configure default window state in settings.json or use OS-level shortcuts after launch. The `wt` command focuses on layout and profile control; combine it with Windows shortcuts like Win+Up to maximize after opening.
