Notable changes in Windows Terminal ver 0.11

Windows Terminal is a command-line interface application released by Microsoft in late May 2019, aimed at simplifying the process of accessing environments such as PowerShell, cmd.exe and Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL).

With the newly released version 0.11, Windows Terminal has been added quite a lot of useful new features and improvements, specifically as follows:

The Copy and Paste commands are associated with the Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V keys in the new settings.json file. However, you can still use Ctrl + Shift + C and Ctrl + Shift + V .

Starting with this release, Windows Terminal will change the default copy behavior, changing it to plain text copy. There is a newly added installation option called CopyFormatted currently set to false , but you can also change it to true for convenient copying of HTML and RTF formats.
