Microsoft released Windows Terminal 1.10 today, and with it comes some handy new features and shortcuts for an optimal experience.
With today's release, Windows Terminal is being promoted to version 1.9, and Windows Terminal Preview becomes version 1.10.
As we have already tested the 1.9 version in preview since May, we will focus on the new features coming to Windows Terminal Preview, which continue improving the console app.
In Windows Terminal 1.9, Microsoft introduced a new feature called 'Quake mode' that allows you to open a new Windows Terminal window while in any other application.
While this is not a revolutionary feature, when your in the middle of coding or managing devices, it provides a quick method to launch a new Terminal Windows.
With Windows Terminal 1.10, Microsoft has enhanced this feature by causing a closed Quake mode window to minimize to the taskbar instead. To open the window again, you simply need to double-click on the icon in your taskbar.
