Windows Terminal now lets you drag and drop folders to open tabs
2021-09-01 23:51

Microsoft released Windows Terminal Preview v1.11 yesterday, and comes numerous improvements and features, including the ability to open a Terminal window by dropping a folder on the new tab button.

Windows Terminal is one of my favorite features to come to Windows 10 over the past few years as it provides a multi-tabbed console window that you can use for PowerShell, WSL, and Command Prompt consoles.

When using Windows Terminal, you can open multiple console tabs simultaneously with a mix of different shells, depending on your needs and the applications installed.

Windows Terminal is now a built-in application in Windows 10 and can be added as the default console program when right-clicking on a folder.

Even better, Windows Terminal is open source, allowing developers outside of Microsoft to contribute new features and fixes.

Windows Terminal Preview v1.11 includes many fixes, but for us, one stands out - the new ability to drag and drop a folder on the new tab button to open a console directly to that folder.
