Description

Open Terminal Here briefly shows a cmd.exe window before launching powershell.exe

This can be easily hidden by passing a startupinfo argument to subprocess.Popen() Would like me to submit a pull request?

if os.name == 'win':
    startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO()
    startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
    subprocess.Popen(args, cwd=cwd, startupinfo=startupinfo)
else:
    subprocess.Popen(args, cwd=cwd)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Modify the `open terminal.py` file to add the startupinfo parameter to subprocess.Popen when os.name is 'nt'.
