WTQ v1

This is the documentation for Windows Terminal Quake v1. It is currently more feature-complete than v2, but as of yet only supports a single application at a time.

Click here to see the docs for the in-development v2.

Build Status

Features

  • Runs alongside the new Windows Terminal
  • Toggle using CTRL+~ or CTRL+Q (configurable, see hotkeys)
  • Shows up on the screen where the mouse is (eg. multi-monitor and multi-workspace)
  • Transparency
  • Configurable as fullscreen, or partial screen

Settings

Since v0.4, the app supports a JSON settings file. The file can be placed at either (in order):

  • File called "windows-terminal-quake.json", next to the app .exe
  • "C:\Users\(username)\windows-terminal-quake.json"

WTQ also supports the extensions .jsonc and .json5, which can be useful for automatic syntax highlighting support in editors.

Changing the file automatically results in the app reloading the settings.
