Quake-like hiding of Windows WSI bash prompt
Quake Windows Bash
Description
This is a simple AutoHotkey script for enabling Quake-like hiding and showing of Windows WSL bash terminal or Windows Terminal. You just hold down Control key and press Tilde / Backtick. :floppy_disk:
It uses default minimizing and restoring animations, so there is almost no delay. :zap:
How to use
It's pretty straightforward: :mouse:
- Download and install AutoHotkey (version 2 supported for Windows Terminal)
- Run
quake-windows-bash.ahkorquake-windows-terminal-ahk2.ahk - (Optionally) Place
quake-windows-bash.ahkorquake-windows-terminal-ahk2.ahkinto auto startup folder (Win+R: "shell:startup") - Run bash and press
CTRL + `:baby_chick:
Overcoming WSL rendering bug in Tmux & Vim
If you are experiencing some weird :space_invader: screen perturbations while restoring bash from minimized state, it's probably a bug caused by some incompatibility of WSL with tmux and vim. But do not worry. :smiley_cat: I have included some hack which automatically refreshes tmux upon restoring the bash window. You just need to find it in the source code (Ctrl+F: "tmux/vim") and remove the comments (;). Enjoy! :yum:
