Description of the new feature/enhancement

The right-click context menu now already includes a 'Open in Windows Terminal' option by default, which is super handy. Is it possible to attach a global keybind to this action which does the same? I use AutoHotkey to (patchily) achieve a similar behaviour, but an integrated keybind would be nice...

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

(If this is possible...)
The keybind respects the context as well:

  • If pressed from a window which doesn't have a 'path' per se, or the path is irrelevant (like a CLSID location) then open at default starting directory.
  • If pressed in a window with a natural 'path', open at that location.
  • If terminal already active, bring it to focus.
  • If in focus, minimize.

Thanks for considering!

The Terminal actually already does have a global hotkey setting - check out the globalSummon action

The other half of you request is presumably tracked over in #10202
