Get on the Windows Terminal PREVIEW train – now with Settings UI

Turns out you can put in either the Windows Terminal AND the Windows Terminal Preview side by side! This will let you try out each of the forthcoming features on this”skip next” version. You can catch the next version of the Windows Terminal in https://aka.ms/terminal-preview now.

The 2 Terminals could be immobilized side by side if you like. Here you are able to see the Preview Terminal has a”Pre” badge in the taskbar.

Windows Terminal rocks

Historically you have had to edit a settings.json file – usually with Visual Studio Code and it has beautiful json schema support, natch – but as of Windows Terminal 1.6, you have got a preview of this long-awaited Settings UI.

Get the Terminal 1.6 Preview, press Ctrl+, to get your settings.json, then glue this down by the actions array at the base:

“command”: “action”: “openSettings”, “target”: “settingsUI” , “keys”: “ctrl+shift+,” ,

That’ll make Ctrl+Shift+, bring up the Settings UI!

Here is only one section! I believed I know all the settings but there is a TON I missed. You’ll also observe all my Profiles on the abandoned PLUS a Base Layer for inheritance. I was pleased to see the Grayscale vs ClearType (subpixel rgb anti-aliasing) choice, in addition to some of the more obscure cursor choices.

A actual colour schema editor is also overdue, therefore it was amazing to observe that too.

Color schemes

You , of course, hop between JSON the UI. Here is the UbuntuLegit (from Kayla! ) ) Colour schema like a UI, previously, and as JSON, under.

I’ve been using Windows Terminal Preview as my chief recently, even over the”more stable” published version. Fortunately I can run , however the Preview is my own go-to right now.
