### Expected Behavior
A Shortcut user guide pop-up should appear on the Screen when users open Terminal app so that Users are aware about the shortcuts to access whole app features.
### Actual Behavior
Inexperienced users will not be aware about the shortcuts defined to access app features when user open Terminal app.. Shortcuts are given on 'Action' tab inside Settings page and to reach settings page users have also use shortcut keys. Documentation link is also provided inside 'About' page which is also opened with the help of Shortcuts.
In addition to that inexperienced user will also not be able to know where they will find shortcuts, or they are only using Terminal window to execute commands as they are not aware about these features which are accessible using shortcuts.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the reproduction steps and the existing shortcuts listed under the Settings Action tab and the About-page documentation. Define the onboarding behavior and shortcut content, then verify that a guide appears when Windows Terminal opens and makes the app's features discoverable without requiring shortcuts to reach it.
