You might be wondering why to switch from Windows Host Console to Windows Terminal, right? Here’s a answer.Īfter making Windows Host Console default terminal app in Windows 11 whenever you launch Command Prompt and PowerShell, it opens in a separate window as a result you end up with multiple active windows on the desktop. Fortunately, it is possible for users to set Windows Terminal default Terminal app in Windows 11. The Block Drawing ask, is more complicated in that there is an artistic expectation, as well as the technical side of it, having "glyph" drawing extending outside of the cell - and the potential problems in handling highlighting those Block Element cells, inverting the foreground and background.īut the Cell height is something that would fall under the Line Spacing too, as a decision would need to be made whether the height includes the line-height as a padding inside the cell, or margin between cell rows.Windows 11 with default settings launch all command lines tools in classic Windows Console Environment a.k.a Windows Host Console. So this is why I suggested the virtuous linking of the two. I take your point, they are two distinct asks, but tackling the line spacing ask, will increase the amount of feedback received for the Block Drawing elements showing gaps. (Of course, if they want to, they're welcome to!) If someone is motivated to try and fix this, they shouldn't feel worried about needing to also solve box drawing. So I'd happily welcome PRs for both things, independently. I'd rather have incremental progress rather than entirely block some goodness (line spacing) because we couldn't figure out a hard thing (block drawing).


I'm gonna play devil's advocate: I don't think the two are strongly linked.

It should probably be introduced hand in hand
