Oh I certainly don't take it as such. It can be extra frustrating as both a developer and a user of the console to want to be able to improve everything, but know that there is only so much time to get features done, and rarely do us

We're certainly not improving the console only because of WSL - WSL has highlighted a lot of functionality that we could improve upon, yes, but we're improving the console because the console needs improving. I'd say that we&

That part comes next ;) Getting all of the rendering calls isolated to one component was a pretty big task in itself, and just isolating and de-duplicating them improved our rendering perf by something like 30%

lol Rich is straight outta Britain English - his English is the most English of any of ours :P edit: Now that I say that, I guess he is Welsh so maybe his english isn't the best... :P

I would agree that our perf isn't the best. Almost all of that comes down to our rendering stack - something like 90% of our CPU time is spent rendering the window. This is because at the moment we're stuck with GDI, and IIRC we h

Trust us, the pain on not having a tabbed console is felt here in the console team too. It's our most requested feature, but implementing it has always ended up a lot harder than expected. Fortunately we're working with the Tabbed

Yep that's it!

by zadjii 8y ago
Oh no, I can say that quite publicly. When I started on the team in 2015, that code was some nightmarish shit. It was hardly componentized, you'd have 70 different places in the code all calling out to GDI to do rendering at seemingly

Lol any original devs retired a long time ago, can you imagine what $MSFT shares from 1989 are worth now?

by zadjii 8y ago
Well, the team is small, we're up to three whole devs now. Since 2014 we've been doing a lot of work o help bring our VT implementation up to par (to help enable WSL), as well as implementing new features such as 256/RGB colo

May I ask what your specific pain points are? We've been doing a lot to try and improve our usability but there's so very much on our backlog that it's hard to prioritize. I'm always curious if people have specific reque

That's Rich for you - He's pretty passionate about everything we do :)

Have you tried enabling QuickEdit mode in the Properties (right click on the titlebar)? Quick edit lets you use the mouse for selecting, and in Insider's releases we've even added support for Ctrl+Shift+C/V for copy paste (ev

That's just flat out wrong: https://i.imgur.com/ae1yyXI.png We added support for TTF fonts a few releases ago.

Thanks :) We do what we can, and we're certainly not about to stop trying to impress.

Hey there, I'm actually on the windows console dev team. Any specific features you're looking for from iTerm2? There's already hundred of items on the backlog, but I'm always curious what things in particular people are

lixquid is talking about the old snipping tool, not the one attached to Win+Shift+S. I agree that it's really unclear what happens when you use Win+Shift+S to grab the screen. No indication at all that the image is on the clipboard. Th

... Perhaps the icon should correlated directly with the distro that you're running?

Hey your opinion is cool and all. But there are a lot of people who put a lot of hard work into this project, because we're developers too, and we think the idea of being able to run a full linux userland on top of the NT kernel is fu

The 16 colors are the color table - these are the actual colors you want to change. The selected box (of the 16) has it's values displayed on the right. Change those numbers to change the color's value. The radio buttons select wh

Is this windows npm, or linux npm running on WSL? Because I believe that linux npm works just fine...

Wait, is that for the Windows npm or the linux npm running on WSL? I don't believe the second would have ever had that problem

This is the dialog box you want: http://imgur.com/pwzwjZu Lets you actually make things readable - even pretty if you care to.

That's a prerelease bug. It's being fixed :)

This is what mine looks like: http://imgur.com/Qj0fysB It's all about changing the color palette of the console window, which is kinda a pain, but well worth it. I use tmux super heavily, so a nice .tmux conf pays off.

Stay tuned - This is just the beginning ;)

I would say that's not very high on our backlog. That sounds like something that we'd need to implement directly in cmd.exe (the shell), not conhost.exe (the terminal) and changing cmd's behavior is VERY HARD to do without so
