This is a Terminal, it's not going to hold your hand. So you've downloaded the Windows Terminal.now what? At this point this is the end of the new features before 1.0 though, and now it's all about bug fixes and rock solid stability. This isn't a new 'DOS Prompt.' Windows Terminal is the view into whatever shell makes you happy. NOTE: Have you already downloaded the Terminal, maybe a while back? Enough has changed that you should delete your profiles.json and start over.īIG NOTE: Educate yourself about the difference between a console, a terminal, and a shell. I recommend the Store version if possible. There's also an unofficial Chocolatey release. You can download the Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store or from the GitHub releases page. It's the feature complete release of the Windows Terminal. I also can't get it to scroll outside of Terminal (!)ĭepends on what you're remoting to! If Linux, you're hitting the well-tested Linux remoting code.It's time. I can find no mention of scrolling in vim's Windows code (the ' MOUSE_WHEELED' event flag). Running in Cygwin/MSYS2 can add another layer of complexity here, as the existence of mouse events depends on $TERM and the Cygwin runtime version (only 3.1+ support 'let the windows console control how input is generated') When Vim detects that it is running on Windows, it uses Windows mouse events and Windows console events. Longstanding mouse support in conhost 😄, see note 2 Surprised scrolling doesn't work after 8.2 p 2913, see note 2 Is scrolling supposed to work at this point? I've tested a number of options, and my findings are currently: #īy remote ViM I mean using ViM over an ssh connection to a linux machine.ĪLRIGHT! I think I've cracked it. Expected BehaviorĬlicking, Selecting, Scrolling to work across all Windows Terminal combinations (except for cmd.exe, I don't expect that) Actual Behavior Run command with vim -u vimrc-test textfile where textfile is some file that is long enough to have room to scroll. Install WT (Windows Terminal), ViM, Git, WSL for testing (see combinations tested below)Ĭreate vimrc-test file with the contents: This is the newest ViM from the vim for windows github Steps to reproduce
