Feature Request - Easier means of launching Windows Terminal #1479
Comments
instead of

@Shorotshishir thanks, I didn't find any mention of this on my initial tinkering. This is definitely helpful! However, it does not work for resolving the current directory when launching from the navigation bar in Explorer. |
@JaimeStill use "startingDirectory" : "%CD%". your issue will be resolved. |
@Shorotshishir is it possible to use %__CD__% only when launching from the navigation bar in Explorer and use %PROFILE% when launching from start menu? |
@ducaale @Shorotshishir having the ability to differentiate the two scenarios would definitely be ideal. |
I'm guessing this will come later when the Terminal is closer to being out of preview, but a way to just have this popup whenever CMD/Powershell/WSL would open would be nice. |
Right now, |
While this is actually the opposite of "Launching" Windows Terminal, it would be great if you could close the current tab (Powershell or CMD) with CTRL+D. This is very common on Linux shells like Bash. |
Summary of the new feature/enhancement
Most of the time, when I open a command prompt, I either run
cmd
from the navbar of the directory I want to open in Windows Explorer, or I runcmd
from the Run utility (Win + R).It would be great if one of the solutions outlined below would allow better integration of Windows Terminal, making it a more viable shell for use in Windows.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Default Shell
In Windows 10, you have the option of setting application defaults. A Shell category could be added and linked to Windows Terminal. This way, any time you launch PowerShell, Command Prompt, or any other CLI, it will launch in Windows Terminal. I know OS-wide settings are outside of the scope of this project, but I think it is a good conversation to have regarding people who want to use this tool by default at the operating system level.
Alternative Solution
Provide a way to launch Windows Terminal in the same way you can use
cmd
to launch Command Prompt (as specified above).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
