<h1 dir="auto">Description of the new feature/enhancement</h1>
<p dir="auto">Currently in Windows 10, the only way to open the program with a keyboard shortcut is by:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Opening a run prompt and running <code class="notranslate">shell:AppsFolder</code></li>
<li>Dragging a shortcut to the desktop</li>
<li>Binding keys to this shortcut and leaving it on the desktop</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">This clutters the desktop unnecessarily and is brittle in that (I suspect) the folder changes upon update due to the version number in the path (e.g. <code class="notranslate">C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.2.1831.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\...</code>).</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Technical considerations</h1>
<p dir="auto">It would be great if there was a way to bind a key as part of the install process or within the settings file, but I realise this may reasonably be regarded as an OS level concern. I'm stunned that Microsoft doesn't provide a simple way to do this within Windows, but this is not an issue for the Windows Terminal team.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm sure I could get around this by using something like <code class="notranslate">AutoHotKey</code> though, so I guess we just need a way to reliably derive the path of the application...</p>

<h1 dir="auto">Steps to reproduce</h1>
<ol dir="auto">
<li>ssh to an Ubuntu 18.04 host; log in to <code class="notranslate">bash</code> session.</li>
<li>start <code class="notranslate">byobu</code></li>
<li>run command<br>
<code class="notranslate">$ while :; do echo 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.';  done</code></li>
<li>press <code class="notranslate">F2</code> key to create new <code class="notranslate">byobu</code> window</li>
<li>press <code class="notranslate">F3</code> and <code class="notranslate">F4</code> to toggle screens back and forth several times</li>
</ol>
<h1 dir="auto">Expected behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">Steps  4 and 5 respond quickly.</p>

<h1 dir="auto">Actual behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">Steps 4 and 5 can take very long times to process the keystroke and respond.<br>
Sometimes 10, 20, 30 seconds, sometimes immediate.</p>

<p dir="auto">Compare to doing the same process from <code class="notranslate">cmd.exe</code> (in its native window), which responds immediately as expected.</p>
<p dir="auto">Ctrl-C also is sluggish.</p>
