I switched from Cmder to Windows Terminal after using the former exclusively for years. I really like that Cmder comes with Unix tools out of the box, but Windows Terminal is a better terminal IMO since it only does a few things, but it does them well. SSH, vim, tmux, and other complex terminal programs mostly just work. It's also much more straight forward to add new custom shells/profiles than with Cmder.
One annoyance I do have with Windows Terminal is that there isn't a nice way to open up an admin terminal. I usually just have to right click it and open as admin (could also do a shortcut, but that's basically the same thing). Not sure if it is possible, but I would especially love to have admin and non-admin tabs in the same window.
- joshschreuder 6y agoIf you pin it to start menu, and have an Admin console setup via the settings it will appear in the Start menu jump list to open as admin. Though doing it this way you do get the flicker as the non admin terminal spawns the admin terminal. The admin terminal story on Terminal was a bit of a mess last time I looked, I think for security reasons. Has anything changed?
