Windows Terminal Preview 1.9 Release
- zadjii 5y agoThis is a big release for the Terminal - with two major features finally landing: * Support for setting the Windows Terminal as the _default_ terminal on Windows. When that's all set up, commandline applications will launch directly into the Terminal instead of into the vintage console (conhost.exe) * Support for "quake mode", or just activating the window with a global hotkey. This one's been consistently the highest-requested feature on the Terminal issue tracker, so it's really satisfying to see it finally ship. At first I thought it was a bit of a silly idea, but after using it for a while, I can't believe I ever lived without it.
- sharken 5y agoIt's great to see Windows Terminal become integrated into Windows. It would be equally great if Microsoft could tell us where and when PowerShell 7 will become the default PowerShell in Windows.
- majkinetor 5y agoIts not integrated into Windows. You still need to install it.
- sharken 5y agoQuite right, though it's likely that Microsoft will add Windows Terminal to Windows in a future release.
- zadjii 5y agoIt would be great if they would tell me too :P
- sharken 5y agoIndeed. Just had a look at the Future milestone for PowerShell and with 272 open issues, it's not likely to see PowerShell 7 as default anytime soon. One of the open issues from 2019 about ease of install would be great to have fixed: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/8663 https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/8663
