We present another update to Windows Terminal Preview, which will be available in Windows Terminal in August. You can download Windows Terminal Preview and Windows Terminal from or from the releases page on .
Check below to learn about the latest features!
Focus Mode
This feature hides tabs and the title bar. In this mode, only the terminal content is displayed. To enable Focus Mode, you can add a key binding for toggleFocusMode in settings.json.
{ "command": "toggleFocusMode", "keys": "shift+f11" }
Always on top of all windows
In addition to Focus Mode, you can make Windows Terminal Preview always visible above all windows. This can be done using the global parameter alwaysOnTop or by setting a key binding with the command toggleAlwaysOnTop.
// Global setting
"alwaysOnTop": true
// Key binding
{ "command": "toggleAlwaysOnTop", "keys": "alt+shift+tab" }New commands
New key binding commands have been added to enhance your interaction with the Terminal.
Set tab color
You can now set the color of the active tab using the command setTabColor. This command uses the colorproperty, which accepts a color value in hexadecimal format, such as #rgb or #rrggbb.
{ "command": { "action": "setTabColor", "color": "#ffffff" }, "keys": "ctrl+a" }
Change tab color
A command has been added openTabColorPicker, allowing you to open the tab color selection menu. If you prefer using the mouse, you can still right-click on the tab to access the color palette.
{ "command": "openTabColorPicker", "keys": "ctrl+b" }
Rename tab
You can rename the active tab using the command renameTab (thanks !). And again, if you prefer to work with the mouse, you can right-click or double-click on the tab to rename it.
{ "command": "renameTab", "keys": "ctrl+c" }
Toggle retro effect
You can now switch to the Terminal's retro effect and back using a key binding and the command toggleRetroEffect.
{ "command": "toggleRetroEffect", "keys": "ctrl+d" }
Cascadia Code font weight
now supports various weights. You can enable them in Windows Terminal Preview by using the parameter. Special thanks to our font designer Aaron Bell () for this!
"fontWeight": "light"
Command palette update
The command palette is almost complete! We are currently fixing some bugs, but if you can't wait, you can add the command commandPalette to your key bindings and open the palette from the keyboard. If you find any errors, please let us know at !
{ "command": "commandPalette", "keys": "ctrl+shift+p" }
User Interface of the Settings Section
We are currently actively working on the interface for Settings. You can review the design below, along with the specifications .
Miscellaneous
Now you can use nt, sp, and ft as command line arguments for creating a new tab, splitting the pane, and highlighting a specific tab, respectively.
Now, when inserting large amounts of text and/or multi-line text, an appropriate warning is displayed. More information on disabling these warnings can be found on the documentation page for (thanks !).
