Microsoft has released an update to Windows Terminal, bringing a couple of new features. Windows Terminal v.0.10 brings support for mouse input within the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), along with the duplicate pane functionality. The update also brings several bug fixes.
You can install it from the Microsoft Store or download the package from the GitHub page. Here's the changelog of today's Windows Terminal v0.10:
Windows Terminal Preview v0.10: Mouse Input
The Terminal now supports mouse input in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) applications as well as Windows applications that use virtual terminal (VT) input. This means applications such as tmux and Midnight Commander will recognize when you click on items in the Terminal window! If an application is in mouse mode, you can hold down
shiftto make a selection instead of sending VT input.
Settings Update
Duplicate Pane
You can now open a new pane with a duplicate profile of the pane that is in focus. This can be done by adding
"splitMode": "duplicate"to the"splitPane"command list in your key bindings. This key binding will duplicate the profile, but you can add other options such as"commandline","index","startingDirectory", and"tabTitle". If you’d like to read more about these key binding options, you can check out this blog post.
