Windows Terminal and Tabs

One window, many shells, profiles that stop the chaos.

Tabs reduce the “which window was that?” tax.

Windows Terminal is the modern front door. One window can hold PowerShell, Command Prompt, and more as tabs. Profiles keep each shell’s look and start directory sane.

Useful moves

Ctrl + Shift + T new tab · Ctrl + Tab cycle
Set a default profile to PowerShell so you stop landing in mystery shells
Pin Terminal to the taskbar if you open it daily

Pro tipOpen Settings inside Terminal (Ctrl + ,) and set your starting directory to a projects folder you actually use.
