Karlston Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Windows Terminal to gain Settings UI in the next version Microsoft released Windows Terminal in 2019 replacing the default Windows Console that PowerShell and CMD use by default. The new terminal program contains many features that command-line users have been asking for years like tabs, profiles, and modern text rendering. Although the JSON based settings allow users to customize the app, many users have asked for a GUI page (Graphic User Interface) for the settings menu because editing JSON, while flexible, is very hard. Today, a program manager (Kayla Cinnamon) from Microsoft teased on Twitter that Settings GUI is coming in the next preview version of Windows Terminal. From the GIF, we can see that the Settings page opens in one of the tabs just like how a new terminal tab would. The design seems to be following the Windows 10 Settings app, featuring a sidebar on the left and a detailed page on the right. Users who wish to manually edit the Settings JSON file still have the option to do so according to the GIF, but GUI is a nice feature for most users who just want to quickly launch and change some settings. The sidebar suggests that users will be able to customize areas of the app and each of the profiles. This new feature will soon come to a Windows Terminal Preview release. More information is available through Windows Terminal's GitHub page.

Sylence Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Well that makes things easy, but honestly, working with the code behind the settings itself is fine for me. i mean if you are using Terminal, you already need to be used to typing codes.
