Windows Terminal (Portable Geek Edition)

Project information

• Version: 0.0.1
• Author: tommy (tommy.yxd@gmail.com)

Project background

This project focuses on the pain points that show up in geek vibe coding workflows:

• Fast context recovery when working across multiple projects and modules at the same time
• Easier input for command-line agent tools, with an experience closer to native Windows components
• Protection against losing a coding window because of accidental operations

Documentation

• Chinese overview: README-cn.md
• Build notes: ext\README.md

Feature overview

Workspace

Workspaces help manage terminals for different development needs within the same scenario.

For workspaces:

• Click the workspace name in the upper-left corner to enter workspace maintenance and use the unified management entry

• One workspace can only be opened in one terminal window at a time
• Locking a workspace helps prevent accidental changes; once unlocked, normal workspace management becomes available again

For each terminal node inside a workspace:

• The session can be restored from its source (a profile from the base Windows Terminal configuration or an SSH config entry), startup directory, and startup command
• For newly opened terminal windows, the app infers the startup directory and command to reduce configuration work; the management entry can still be used for correction. To improve inference accuracy, using Tab or similar shortcuts for command completion is not recommended

Bottom input panel

• Independent control: each terminal node can enable or disable its own bottom input panel, and it is hidden by default
• Auto-sizing input height: the input box starts at one line and grows with the actual number of input lines
• Send: Ctrl+Enter sends the current input to the active terminal and restores the newline behavior expected by that terminal
• Draft cache: input content is cached per panel, and it remains available after reopening the workspace so you can continue editing

Portable distribution

1. Delivered and run as a single-file build.
2. English and Chinese release variants are currently supported.

SSH configuration

1. Connection information can be loaded from SSH config files.
2. SSH entries are de-duplicated against existing terminal connections.
