The Windows Terminal is a fine little tool in that Windows PowerShell (standard or already version 7), the input prompt or WSL and more is integrated.
It offers tabs, the option to split the window and much more. There are also countless key combinations to control the Windows Terminal. But actually, you only need to remember one key combination. Ctrl + Shift + P. This easily opens an overview of commands.
Here you can scroll through the individual commands, whereby the individual key combinations are always included, or simply use the search. It is very useful when you have “head as a sieve” and cannot remember the individual key combinations. Here's an animation of how it works.
Those who want to add their own modifications can do so too. This is explained in more detail here on this page.
