One of the many reasons you should make the switch to the new Windows Terminal! Windows Terminal uses GPU accelerated text rendering compared to the original console window which uses the CPU, thus giving the Terminal superior performance โบ
Fun fact:
Minimizing an in-progress, legacy Windows command prompt window will often make the program run faster.
When a program sends visual update it tries to draw each one.
If you minimize the window it doesnโt bother repainting the window.
This can make stuff run 50x faster.
๐ก Terminal tip: Want to access all of the commands available to you in Windows Terminal? Type Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette!
Bonus: You can even make your own commands to open custom configurations ๐
๐ก๏ธ You can now have profiles that automatically run as Administrator!
โจ The settings UI has a new refreshed look!
๐ You can customize a profile's bell sound!
Windows Terminal 1.12 and Windows Terminal Preview 1.13 are here! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Windows Terminal Preview 1.10 is here! Quake mode is in the system tray and the command palette is in the dropdown menu!
Windows Terminal 1.9 is being rolled out over the next few days. This means quake mode is coming soon to a terminal near you! ๐
Cascadia Code is now a variable font and has shipped in Windows Terminal and Windows Terminal Preview! ๐คฉ
If you want a different weight in your prompt, Windows Terminal Preview allows you to choose a font weight for your profile with "fontWeight"! ๐
Want a closer look into the development progress of the Windows Terminal? We now publish regular status updates to our wiki on GitHub! Here's our latest one:
Now that Windows Terminal ships inside Windows, we are modifying our release process. The new versions will make their way through the Insider Program before being delivered to all machines.
With that being said, Windows Terminal 1.9 should be available to everyone today ๐
