About

Quick Shell is a PowerToys Command Palette extension that lets you save

favorite project directories and launch them in Windows Terminal, PowerShell,

PowerShell 7, or cmd — optionally running a command on open.

After installing, open PowerToys Command Palette and run "Reload Command Palette Extension".

For full Command Palette integration, MSIX install via scripts/deploy.ps1 is recommended.
