settings.json - where it is located?

[eliassal]

Can you please tell where is the settings.json file in the system?
In the doc, you indicated all possible config but nowhere the location of this file
Thanks

Thanks, I found it and was able to customize it. However, ion hamsleman blog

I see that he is using "split" to have 3 different panes, 1 with PS, one with cmd, a 3rd with ubuntu...

I kept my settings as the default

{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "auto", "splitMode": "duplicate" }, "keys": "alt+shift+d" }

pressing "alt+shift+d", it duplicates with the same thing if PS then it is PS it cmd then it is cmd, is this correct?

@nandesu is absolutely correct. For a "more complete" path, it's under

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json

So for me, with my PC's user being migrie, the path is:

C:\Users\migrie\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json

It duplicates whichever profile was used to launch the currently focused pane. So if you open the PowerShell profile, then run cmd in that pane, then try to duplicate it, it will run another PowerShell instance (without the child cmd.exe).

Yes correct, if PS it opens PS. However, is it possible to reorganize the panes?
Also, do you think that it will be possible to add a new feature is that you control which profile when doing "alt+shift+d"?

There's answers to a ton of panes questions in #1000, so in general I'll direct your attention there.

Regarding:

do you think that it will be possible to add a new feature is that you control which profile when doing "alt+shift+d"?

This was added in #3825. From that PR:

With this PR, you can make bindings like the following:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+a"], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+b"], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical", "profile": "{6239a42c-1111-49a3-80bd-e8fdd045185c}" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+c"], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical", "profile": "profile1" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+d"], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "vertical", "profile": "profile2" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+e"], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "horizontal", "commandline": "foo.exe" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+f"], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split": "horizontal", "profile": "profile1", "commandline": "foo.exe" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+g"], "command": { "action": "newTab" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+h"], "command": { "action": "newTab", "startingDirectory": "c:\\foo" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+i"], "command": { "action": "newTab", "profile": "profile2", "startingDirectory": "c:\\foo" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+j"], "command": { "action": "newTab", "tabTitle": "bar" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+k"], "command": { "action": "newTab", "profile": "profile2", "tabTitle": "bar" } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+l"], "command": { "action": "newTab", "profile": "profile1", "tabTitle": "bar", "startingDirectory": "c:\\foo", "commandline":"foo.exe" } }
