It does, the new Windows Terminal app is pretty nice. What it does not have is a good set of command line tools. Powershell is powerful and great in its way, but it is cumbersome to use for little tasks. And the lack of a command-line text editor like vim is a huge pain in the ass.
- notreallyserio 5y agoHowever, if you install Windows Terminal you will find that Start menu behavior changes in a annoying way that the Terminal developers can’t fix without changes to Windows itself[0]. With Terminal installed, if you search for a directory from the Start menu — hit the Windows key, start typing, press enter — the menu won’t close automatically. 0: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7122 https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7122
- hotsauceror 5y agoThat is not my experience. I just tried it twice, searched for Notepad, it opened right up both times and closed the start menu, and I have terminal open with two WSL sessions. EDIT: OK, now I see it. It is specific to pinned folders in the Start Menu, not search or pinned Apps. I don't generally pin folders to Start so that's why I wasn't seeing it.
- notreallyserio 5y agoInteresting. It was happening for all of my folders, IIRC, although it’s possible the ones I tried happened to be pinned. I don’t use the pins on purpose anyway.
