Make sure that you check at least two workloads: Desktop development with C++ and the Universal Windows Platform Development. Once you’ve finished the download, start the installer. Go to the Visual Studio website and get the installer. In order to build the actual app, you will need Visual Studio 2019. You will also need to enable the Developer Mode from Settings → Update & Security → For Developers. You can get more informations about your Windows version with the winver command. If the third number from the build version starts with 18, or newer, you should be OK. This is what I see on my machine: 1 C:\>ver 2 3 Microsoft Windows 4 5 C:\> Open a Console window and check what build version of Windows 10 you have: 1 ver If you already are on Windows 1903, or up, you are good to go. If you are like me and can’t wait until the official release of 1903, you can install Windows Insiders edition which will let you build and use the new Terminal application today.

Sometimes it scrolls down really far into blank space, and you have to scroll up to where the window is actually populatedĪn alternative to plain CMD is Console2, which uses CMD under the hood, but provides a lot more configuration options.In order to be able to use the Windows Terminal application, you will need at least Windows 1903 which is going to be released this month, in a matter of days. Shift-right-click on a folder allows you to launch a command prompt in that folder. Or by modifying the AutoRun registry value. Or rather, not true if you define a start directory in the properties of the shortcut Seems to always start in C:\Windows\System32, which is super useless. Use start cmd or define an alias if that's too much hassle: doskey nw=start cmd /k $* Hard to open another window (no menu options do this). Console2 (see below) does not have this limitation.

When no text is marked, a right-click pastes text from the clipboard. Right-click copies marked text into the clipboard.

Enable QuickEdit, either in the properties of the shortcut, or in the properties of the CMD window (right-click on the title bar), and you can mark text directly.
