Maximizing Windows Terminal

RebootRogue

Hey everyone,

I’ve been diving into the Windows Terminal recently and am really impressed with its capabilities. I’m curious if anyone has some tips or tricks to share for getting the most out of it.

Here are a few things I’m already using:

Custom Profiles: I’ve set up different profiles for PowerShell and Command Prompt with custom color schemes.
Tabbed Interface: Love the ability to open multiple tabs and switch between them easily.
Keyboard Shortcuts: I’ve learned a few shortcuts, but I’m sure there are more efficient ways to navigate and use the terminal.

I’m particularly interested in tips for:

Improving productivity with shortcuts or specific settings.
Integrating any cool plugins or tools.
Any other features that might not be well known but are super useful.

Would love to hear how others are using Windows Terminal to streamline their workflow! Thanks in advance!

A great addition to your setup would be utilizing split panes. You can hold down Alt and click the plus button for a new pane, or use shortcuts like Alt + Shift + = to split the current tab horizontally or Alt + Shift + - to split vertically. It’s perfect for multitasking and keeping related sessions side by side.

Another tip is to explore JSON configuration for deeper customization. You can tweak settings like font size, background opacity, or even add more personalized shortcuts.

Lastly, check out Cascadia Code PL font if you haven’t. It includes Powerline glyphs, which can be quite handy if you integrate with tools like Oh My Posh for beautifying your prompt. Keep experimenting, and you’ll uncover even more ways to enhance your workflow!
