Windows Terminal Preview has been updated to version 1.15, which brings the following:
Keyboard selection (marker mode)
- Any text in the text buffer can now be selected in markup mode using the keyboard.
- You can enter markup mode by typing Ctrl+Shift+M. In marker mode, you can use the arrow keys to move to the starting position, then hold Shift and use the arrow keys to select.
- Esc will exit markup mode, and Ctrl+A selects all text in the buffer.
Mark Mode Operation
-
markMode: Switch the marking mode. -
toggleBlockSelection: Allows block selection to be created using only the keyboard. -
switchSelectionEndpoint: When using the keyboard to modify the selection, this action switches focus to another selection marker.
scroll marker (experimental)
Windows Terminal now supports scroll marks, which can be automatically added for each command entered by adding the experimental.autoMarkPrompts setting.
scroll marker action
addMark: Add scroll markers to the text buffer. If there is a selection, the marker is placed at the selection, otherwise it is placed at the cursor line.addMarkThe action has an optionalcolorparameter that allows you to set the color of the scroll marker.scrollToMark: Scroll to the scroll marker in the given direction.scrollToMarkThedirectionparameters acceptfirst,previous,nextandlast.clearMark: Clear the scroll marker at the current position (if selected), or the scroll marker at the cursor position.clearAllMarks: Clears all scroll marks in the text buffer.
PowerShell "black bars" patch removed
This release removes a patch for Windows Terminal that prevented PowerShell from running with an unexpected black background (which could appear as a black bar across the screen). This patch was chosen to be removed because newer versions of PowerShell's PSReadline component already contain a fix for this issue.
Thanks to this change, Oh-My-Posh is again able to display tooltip elements with a black background color.
other improvements
- Windows Terminal now supports
DECPSescape sequences, allowing sound to be played through the terminal - If the Windows Terminal preview settings file is empty at startup, the file will be launched as a copy of the Windows Terminal settings
- Color schemes now accept
