Configuring the Terminal
As I daily use the (windows) terminal for various reasons I will describe my preferred setup.
NOTE: The keybindings I have setup refers to the default SE keyboard layout. And I am using a 34” widescreen.
Quake mode
I have the keybinding for toggle the Quake window to Ctrl+§ (Image of quake window)
This to get to a terminal without any “alt-tabbing”, which kan be a nuisance when having more than two applications running.
Configured via Setting UI, which corresponds to the following
actions:
[
...
{
"command":
{
"action": "quakeMode"
},
"keys": "ctrl+\u00a7"
}
]
Add Git Bash
After installing git I can add the git-bash to terminal:

Configuring the multi pane
I have the cross platform powershell as the default terminal, which I usually run in quake mode.
I have configured Ctrl+G to open a new split pane (vertical) git bash
"actions":
[
{ "keys": ["ctrl+g"], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical", "profile": "Git Bash" } },

// Other configurations
