Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Apparently the new Windows Terminal would be some people's default terminal. It is possible that they wish to replace PowerShell/cmd in Quick Link Menu with it. Currently there are 3rd softwares/scripts doing the job, but they couldn't add keyboard shortcut. So please add an option to add it to Quick Link menu in Windows Terminal's settings.

Currently you can simply run 'wtd' to start Windows Terminal quickly.

This is actually something that'll be fixed by #492, whenever we end up adding support for that. When we do add that feature, then when you open a commandline application, it will launch in your default terminal application, as opposed to conhost. So using Win+X to launch you shell will actually launch the shell attached to Windows Terminal.

Is this still supposed to work? Neither wt or wtd is available here. I've got the Preview build, released yesterday on Windows Store. In my Windows Terminal application directory, I've got conhost.exe and WindowsTerminal.exe, however this directory wasn't added to my PATH on install, and I'm not sure if it should.

# Install dir
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.2.1715.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
