@mcc If you install "Windows Terminal" https://github.com/microsoft/terminal and
1. set it to be the default terminal application (Settings > "Startup" > "Default Terminal Application")
2. edit the default profile and go to (Settings > "Defaults" > "Advanced" > "Profile Termination Behavior" > "Never close automatically")
I believe that should stop those pop-up terminals from disappearing.
Should. There are probably like 3000 ways for windows apps to pop up a terminal
Here's a demo
@DHowett this from the literal no. 2 overall contributor to the #windowsterminal
I NEED EVERYONE TO STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
A CONTRIBUTOR OPENED A PR FOR #SIXEL SUPPORT IN THE #WINDOWSTERMINAL
https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/17421
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Very Scientific Poll time:
If you're in the #Terminal, what do you expect right click to do by default?
(keep in mind that in the #WindowsTerminal, we'll always allow you to customize this behavior)
And here's my talk where I open sourced #sudo live on stage with @shanselman. There's a bunch of other cool stuff in there - #powertoys, notebooks, #devhome, bit if you want just the #windowsterminal, go straight to 37:30
Hey look, we released a new #WindowsTerminal version this week!
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-terminal-preview-1-21-release/
1.21 coming at you with support for restoring text in the buffer when you close and reopen the #terminal, a huge pile of font rendering improvements (including better #powerline support, even for fonts that don't have it), and more
Windows Terminal seems to have its own font renderer, and sometimes it's just plain worse than what's built in.
Compare these two prompts from CONHOST (darker, left) and Windows Terminal (lighter, right). Same text, same font, but the Windows Terminal rendering frequently gets the shape and size of the diagonal blocks wrong, which causes artifacts like color bleed and/or misaligned edges. Worse, which artifacts you see changes with the font size.
Today in the #WindowsTerminal - we gave our docs repo some very much needed love, started prep for the 1.21 release, and I did battle with my annual nemesis, seasonal allergies
It's official: I've got my tickets to #Build2024 to talk about the #WindowsTerminal Kinda hard to believe that I've never been before this.
@JenMsft Or, you know, the #WindowsTerminal has this nifty suggestions menu we've been working on that can display a searchable list of your recent commands
no big deal, just the head of #Windows saying that the #WindowsTerminal is one of his top-3 features in Windows
Pretty unbelievable that the hottest topic on the #WindowsTerminal repo all year has been "do you want a #CLI text editor built-in to #windows ?"
Unsurprisingly, the answer is yes. Of course, if you've got any other feedback to share on the available options, head on over to this thread:
