Feature Request: Icon buttons to start relevant shell types #2934

Description

@gdevacc12

Feature request: Add icon buttons to the Windows Terminal title bar for the installed shell types (instead of the current drop down menu). Each button would start the relevant shell type. The buttons could have tool tip/mouse over for the shell type label/description.

The feature would enable one click start of the desired shell type. Currently, other than the default shell type, there's one click for the drop down, one more for the desired shell type from the list.

Then consider deprecating:

  • the + button (start default shell).
  • the drop down menu of the shell types
