Description of the issue

Trying to find a way to launch this minimized. I saw this previous issue but the accepted solution seems to be .... don't use Cmdr? Skip straight to ConEmu and just use that? That can't be correct, can it?

ConEmu does support launching minimized, which is what I want.
Cmdr does not, nor does it support calling ConEmu with /min

Another suggestion, Minimize on focus loss, won't work either, because I don't want it to minimize on focus lost. That is a completely separate thing. I only want it to launch minimized, so I can have it silently launch on startup. I still want to be able to see the window while working in a different window.

Running it through start /min ... doesn't appear to work either. Well, a process does launch, but it's not accessible. It's just running in the background and can't be seen or used. So that's out too.

It's not a dealbreaker. It's just a little frustrating.

maybe, you can use my workaround , which work well, can silently launch on startup

see #532 (comment)

I confirm that the workaround does work. Thanks to @sidian123 for making it more explicit:

That said, it does feel more like a workaround rather than a feature...

@q00u Run cmder -- -min. Any arg on the other siode of -- is passed directly to conemu

I just found out you can also just edit the shortcut and add /x -MinTSA at the end
