Can I have multiple Powershell Consoles in one window?

Question

So, now I have many open apps, often 3-4 powershell consoles. I'm able to order the powershell windows to watch them together (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).

So this means that if I switch to another app, when I switch back I have to restore all multiple powershell windows to see them all again.

What I want is, to create only one 'shared window' for many powershell, because when I need one, I need all of them to see.

Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

Just to add more details about Windows Terminal approach:

1. Open a Windows Terminal
2. Type Alt+Shift+= or Alt+Shift+- to open a new Pane in the same tab
3. Type Shift+Ctrl+W to close the current Pane

If you need more details or modify the settings, go to next page Panes in Windows Terminal

ConEmu has this option.

You can also configure it to open as much consoles as you want when it starts.

VSCode can have Multiple Terminals which is the closest to this I've seen, quoted from documentaion:

You can create multiple terminals open to different locations and easily navigate between them. Terminal instances can be added by hitting the plus icon on the top-right of the TERMINAL panel or by triggering the Ctrl+Shift+` command. This creates another entry in the dropdown list that can be used to switch between them.

You can also split the terminal by triggering the Ctrl+\ command or via the right click context menu
