Obviously, this is only a wink, even if it highlights the possibilities of personalization with the Windows Terminal application.

Other more serious novelties will be related to the search in the tabs of the terminal to find inputs and outputs of various commands, the resizing of the tabs, the possibility of defining a profile to open using custom key combinations, applying a single parameter to all profiles from the profiles.json file (settings).

For the moment, the Windows Terminal application - which is available from the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 - is still in preview. The next public preview will be stamped 0.8.

A stable version 1.0 should not be too long since it was originally mentioned for this winter. Recall that Windows Terminal offers a user interface taking advantage of faster text rendering with support for GPU acceleration, emojis, themes and therefore tabs with unlimited opening.

The tabs are connected to a shell or application of your choice. The Windows Terminal application offers an environment for PowerShell, Cmd (Command Prompt), Azure Cloud Shell, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)… users.
