The v0.9 release of the Windows Terminal has arrived! This is the last version of the Terminal that will include new features before the v1 release. You can download the Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store<\/a> or from the GitHub releases page<\/a>. Let’s dive into what’s new!<\/p>\n

Command Line Arguments<\/h2>\n

The wt<\/code> execution alias now supports command line arguments! You can now launch Terminal with new tabs and panes split just how you like, with the profiles you like, starting in the directories you like! The possibilities are endless! Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

wt -d .<\/code>
Opens the Terminal with the default profile in the current working directory.<\/p>\n

wt -d . ; new-tab -d C:\\ pwsh.exe<\/code>
Opens the Terminal with two tabs. The first is running the default profile starting in the current working directory. The second is using the default profile with pwsh.exe as the \"commandline\"<\/code> (instead of the default profile’s \"commandline\"<\/code>) starting in the C:\\ directory.<\/p>\n

wt -p \"Windows PowerShell\" -d . ; split-pane -V wsl.exe<\/code>
Opens the Terminal with two panes, split vertically. The top pane is running the profile with the name “Windows Terminal” and the bottom pane is running the default profile using wsl.exe as the \"commandline\"<\/code> (instead of the default profile’s \"commandline\"<\/code>).<\/p>\n

wt -d C:\\Users\\cinnamon\\GitHub\\WindowsTerminal ; split-pane -p \"Command Prompt\" ; split-pane -p \"Ubuntu\" -d \\\\wsl$\\Ubuntu\\home\\cinnak -H<\/code>
See below. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

Auto-Detect PowerShell<\/h2>\n

If you’re a big fan of PowerShell Core<\/a>, we have great news for you. The Windows Terminal will now detect any version of PowerShell and automatically create a profile for you. The PowerShell version we think looks best (starting from highest version number, to the most GA version, to the best-packaged version) will be named as “PowerShell” and will take the original PowerShell Core slot in the dropdown.<\/p>\n

Confirm Close All Tabs<\/h2>\n

Are you someone who always wants to close all of your tabs without being asked every time? If you said yes, this new feature is for you! A new global setting has been created that allows you to always hide the “Close All Tabs” confirmation dialog. You can set \"confirmCloseAllTabs\"<\/code> to false<\/code> at the top of your profiles.json file and you’ll never see that popup again! Thanks to @rstat1<\/a> for the contribution of this new setting. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

Other Improvements<\/h2>\n

\u2b50 VS Code keys used for key bindings are now supported (i.e. \"pgdn\"<\/code> and \"pagedown\"<\/code> are both valid)!<\/p>\n
