Is it possible to have have multiple tabs in a PowerShell terminal on Windows

Question

I need to work with several terminal windows simultaneously, and it's very inconvenient to constantly have to switch between different terminal windows. Is there a way to have multiple tabs in one window? I know it's possible on macOStabs and Linux, but can't figure out how to configure that on Windows.

Answer 1

Yes.

You can use The new Windows Terminal or VSCode Integrated Terminal.

Windows Terminal:

In the new terminal app, you can have multiple PowerShell profiles as tabs.

so that you can work with several terminal tabs simultaneously.

The UI looks like browser tabs. You can download it from the Microsoft store or Github.

On the right, you can Maximize panel size and can choose the terminal profiles.

The best thing about this vscode terminals is...

Along with seeing them as tabs in the right side, you can split them side by side and work on them at same time.
