My Top Tips for using Windows Terminal like a Pro

So you've installed Windows Terminal? What are some small but quick tips and shortcuts that you can implement today to take it to the next level?

As always a great set of tips for Windows Terminal. I learnt following new things
1 - CTRL + Shift + mouse scroll to change the transparency
2 - CTRL + L to clear the screen

Thanks Scott for sharing these

Very timely. Got a new Surface Laptop and was using your old articles and videos last night to setup oh-my-posh and the terminal. Lots of new nuggets in this vid.

Yesterday I was browsing your channel for a video about the Windows Terminal! Thank you!

I'm an SPFX developer and reaped massive amounts of benefit from WSL2 + Windows Terminal - took a while to setup but never looked back.

Thanks for all the tips and tricks.

Love the Oh My Posh prompt, it's so lovely. I still need some time to follow the video though, but thank you Scott!

Nice tips! I'm really happy with Windows Terminal so far, I just wish we could set more than one font or fallback fonts (but I remember seing something about that on github so maybe it's something in developement), and a way to disable some dead keys (I'm using a European keyboard) but to my knowledge no terminal handle this correctly so maybe it's an impossible task. Thanks for the video!

This will be my first ever live on Windows Terminal, looking forward to learning some tips and tricks

I was wondering whether you could make a video on how to backup and restore Windows Terminal settings to keep all devices in sync. I appreciate all the hard work.

Folder drop was something new! I was wondering if there is a way to open a new tab/pane with the current directory, so that it is not required to change to the particular location after creating a new tab/pane? Thank you for the high quality and knowledge full videos!

Thanks for the tips. I just started using this new Windows Terminal and am becoming a huge fan of it. I do have one question or tip. Is there a way to open a command or powershell in admin mode using the new windows terminal?

[freddysanchez]

I love the possibility to split panes, is there a way to do a split pane but instead of opening a new pane of the same profile (e.g. powershell), make it that another profile is opened?

Btw, I love your videos! I've learn so much from you.

Great tips, thanks for the overview. I would love some ideas about getting in/out of administrator mode easier. Like for example, it would be super ideal to have a keybind that opened a split tab that was an administrator. Thanks for the video!

[Techiesse]

Two features that would be nice do have:
1 - From Cmder -> The ability to save groups of terminals (they call tasks) and reopen them in the same positions, splits and paths. I can even run commands like activatiing my python virtualenvs. Super useful to have my development working tree, my test terminal, my scripts folder and my django application running in separate tabs/panes and I don't need to cd / activate / run everything from scratch.
2 - From Terminator -> The ability to move the panes and rearrange the terminal splits.

[CraigArtley]

Thanks for pointing out the drag & drop of files from Explorer to open a new tab with the default profile in that directory. Is there a way to select another profile when doing that, or does it only work for the default? Also, drag & drop is not allowed for Administrator sessions—is that configurable?
