Windows Terminal Quake, also known as WTQ, is a free, open-source utility that adds Quake-style dropdown behavior to desktop applications. It allows users to reveal or hide terminal windows and other programs through customizable keyboard shortcuts. Supported applications include Windows Terminal, WezTerm, file managers, system monitors, and password managers. Windows can slide onto the screen with configurable animations and automatically disappear when focus changes. Users can customize window dimensions, alignment, opacity, and monitor selection. Its configuration supports multiple application profiles, event hooks, and an HTTP API for automation. WTQ runs in the background on Windows 10, Windows 11, and KDE Plasma 5 or 6 on Wayland.
