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
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.
@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
Today in the #WindowsTerminal: I've rejected 6 spam #hacktoberfest PRs in the last week. I really thought this year would be better? I guess I was wrong. Anyone else seeing better results? #OSS
It's about shell integration with the #terminal, which is a cool new(ish) way to light up some fancy new features in WT. By getting the #shell to work together with the terminal, there's a lot of cool stuff we can do.
Anybody else noticing that @dotnet 6 does not output Unicode correctly when run from Windows Terminal?
First image = Standard console host
Second image = Windows Terminal
Tried turning AtlasEngine on and off, no impact. Using Windows Terminal version 1.17.11461.0. This feels recent-ish, not sure if it's .NET or Terminal.
One more #WindowsTerminal tip. Remember I had four tabs open? However it was a bit inconvenient to remember which tab is which, thank gods JAWS announces a tab's number when you do Ctrl+Tab ("Open SSH Client, 2 of 4"). I knew that the second tab is my dump server. However, what if we could have meaningful titles? And you know what? We can! Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open command palette, start typing "rename", arrow down till you hear "Rename tab title...", type a new name and voilà! You have meaningful tab names.
If you are not blind, it's even easier: you need to click the needed tab, then right-click and select Rename Tab.
"Why are video games so much
better designed than office software? Because people who design video games love to play video games. People who design office software look forward to doing something else on the weekend."
@grumpygamer This is basically my entire ethos building the #WindowsTerminal. It's 90% a project that I'm building for myself. The best way to make the product high-quality is to have the people who are working on it be passionate about using the product itself.
Today in the #windowsterminal: I wrote a whole pile of "walkthroughs" on how I might approach some of our open issues in https://github.com/orgs/microsoft/projects/686 a while back, and there's now so many incoming PRs that I can't keep up with them. This is amazing, I love it. Our #opensource community is really helping make 1.18 into a solid release.
