Windows Terminal Preview v0.10

Introducing Windows Terminal v0.10! As always, you can download it from Microsoft Store, or from the releases page on GitHub. Let's take a closer look at the details of the update under the cut!

Windows Terminal Preview v0.10

Mouse input

The terminal now supports mouse input in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) applications, as well as in Windows applications that use virtual terminal (VT) input. This means that applications like tmux and Midnight Commander will recognize clicks on items in the Terminal window! If the application is in mouse mode, you can hold shiftto make a selection instead of sending input to the VT.

Updating settings

Duplicate panels

Now you can open a new panel by duplicating a profile from any selected panel by simply focusing on it and pressing a key combination. To do this, in the "keybindings" section of your profiles.json you need to add "splitMode": "duplicate" ΠΊ "splitpane". You can use other options as well, such as "commandline", "index", "startingDirectory" or "TabTitle". If you want to know more about these options, I recommend that you read this article.

{"keys": ["ctrl+shift+d"], "command": {"action": "splitPane", "split": "auto", "splitMode": "duplicate"}}
