I've been using #CascadiaCode as a programming/terminal font for a long time now, but I *really* need to give #JetBrains Mono a good try. At a quick glance, it seemed a lot better as a terminal font and seemed a little bit more clear when I was editing a bunch of text files. So I guess I'll give it an extended try now!

In mildly related news, I'm surprised that #WindowsTerminal has a "CGA" colour scheme out of box. WHY isn't it default. Microsoft is a company making software for PCs, so they should goddamn act like it.

It feels smart to add Remote Desktop and Hyper-V VM Connect commands to my Windows Terminal profile list.

@blakecoverett Little of this, little of that. We've got features coming out in today's WIP build, and I'll hopefully have more time for both #powertoys and #windowsterminal in the next couple months. Heck I filed my first _real_ PR in (probably a year) for WT just this week
