Features

  • HTML Copy! (#1224) (#2038)
    • HTML copy is incontrovertible.
      • If you want to paste plain text, the receiving application should provide that option.
  • There have been significant improvements to tab titles (#2373)
    • tabTitle is no longer an override
    • Any opened tab will default to being named after its profile (or tabTitle, if it is set)
    • The shell can read and change this title.
      • CMD likes to append the running command name to the existing title. It can now do that!
  • You can now double-click and drag to continue selecting words (#2184)
    • …and triple-click and drag to continue selecting lines!
  • Your settings will no longer roam from machine to machine. (#2298)
    • We always thought it’d be a good idea to roam settings, but really it ended up being a lot more trouble than it was worth.
    • No longer will your WSL and PowerShell Core profiles from Machine A cause WT to fail to run on Machine B!
    • We’ll migrate them to local storage for you.
      • Even if you're using a symbolic link!
  • You can now bind Ctrl+C to copy and it’ll still send a literal ^C if you don’t have any text selected (#2446)
  • A new selection mode, copyOnSelect, has been added: Text will be copied to your clipboard when you select. Immediately. (#2152)
  • A broader range of settings errors will now result in useful diagnostics instead of useless diagnostics. (#2422)
  • A new key binding action, openNewTabDropdown, has been added. By default, we bind it to Ctrl+Shift+Space.
    • As with all new default bindings, it will only be added for new users.

Changes

  • Azure Cloud Shell no longer identifies itself as Visual Studio Code (#2219)
  • (Dev builds only) Azure Cloud Shell only shows up if it would actually work on your build. (#2195)
  • The settings file will never be rewritten once it exists. (#2475)
  • (on 100%-scale displays) UIA text ranges will now appear in the right place on-screen (#2423)

Bug Fixes

  • Powershell should no longer crash when you close its tab (#2198)
    • Applications will now receive proper exit events when you close their tabs.
  • Tab icons now flicker 100% less often (#2376)
  • We won’t crash when you try to split panes for ants -- thanks @richardszalay! (#2450)
  • Data copied to the clipboard will be kept once you exit WT (#2486)
  • It’s a bit harder to accidentally detach the window from its dropdown menu. (#2438)
  • The box cursor will be 74% less blurry and 100% more cool (#2491)
  • Underlines won’t be in the wrong color any longer! (#2491)
  • The windows key will no longer snap on input. (#2514)
  • Azure Cloud Shell will no longer fail when it can't figure out a tenant's name (#2508)
