Description of the new feature

Why Cross-Platform

Windows Terminal should work on Linux and macOS too, not just Windows.

  • So we can actually use its features everywhere
  • So Microsoft tools can reach more developers
  • So it can really compete with Linux/macOS terminals
  • So Windows Terminal can grab the power and ecosystem, not stay Windows-only

Bottom line: cross-platform isn’t a “nice-to-have”—it’s how this terminal can become truly powerful.


Login & Sync

Windows Terminal should allow users to log in, so their setup can follow them across devices.

With login support, users could:

  • Save and sync commands
  • Save extensions and their settings
  • Use the same setup on Windows, Linux, macOS, or even Android

Bottom line: login and sync make the terminal experience seamless and portable.
