I am looking some recommendations for a terminal emulator from windows to login to Linux via ssh+tmux and also connect to WSL.
It needs to have support for multiple tabs, would be nice if it also had split window support. And mostly should feel like a Linux terminal emulator.
I am mostly used to konsole, so something like that would be preferable. I have been using alacritty, but no tabs makes me feel weird.
Microsoft Terminal supports tabs and custom profiles. It can host Azure CLI, PowerShell, CMD.exe, and Bash.
Windows ships with openssh that is usable in any of the supported cli.
I use it all the time for work to ssh into systems.
Came here to say this. My daily driver is nushell in Microsoft terminal.
Nu crowd represent!!!
I have tried this, but feels clunky to me. And the copy paste behaviour is kind of weird. Similar to cmd.
You can modify that in the configs.
Honestly, after using Windows and Linux side-by-side for 25 years, the new Windows Terminal is the best terminal emulator they ever made.
It also has the best promotional video I’ve ever seen for a terminal emulator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE
Wow, had to spend couple if hours configuring it. Almost as nice as konsole.
Also it has smart suggestions system which I really like. Initially it was on by default iirc, but nowadays I think you have to turn it on yourself. What it does is basically after you did any command like “ssh [email protected]”, it will remember that and next time you start typing “ssh” it will automatically provide full command as autocompletion suggestion. It’s purely textual so it works with anything.
Are Windows users just now getting this feature? I’ve had autosuggestions in my oh-my-zsh config for years.
I’ve never seen it on Windows before Windows Terminal, but the latter has been around for a few years at least. I wouldn’t doubt we can have this and much more with Linux shells.
Microsoft’s installed ssh has a phone home behaviour, it logs the server IP you connected to back to the MS mothership during your login.
