Windows 10 Command Prompt
Windows 10 Command Prompt
Finally, the Command Prompt window is being treated as a real Windows application! Here are some of the things you'll discover.
Resizable window
Once you enable the Experimental features, the Command Prompt window works like all the other windows in the operating system. Click in the Maximize button, and the Command Prompt window fills the entire screen. To put it back, click the Restore button.
Want to manually resize the Command Prompt window? Simply position the cursor on one of the corners and, when the pointer turns into a double-headed arrow, click and drag.
Word wrap
When you resize the Command Prompt window, you'll see that any text in the window responds accordingly. Make the window smaller, and the text wraps at the end of the line. Make the window larger, and the text extends to the edge of the window.
Text selection
Need to select some key text in the output of a command? For example, let's say you've used the ipconfig /all command and want to select the IPv6 Address. With Quick Edit Mode enabled, you can highlight the exact text that you want with the mouse pointer no more block selection.
Copy and paste
Once you've highlighted some text in a Command Prompt window, press [Ctrl]+[C] to copy the text to the clipboard -- just like in any other application.
Want to paste a long path from File Explorer into a Command Prompt window? No problem, just copy the path, click the command line, and press [Ctrl]+[V].
Want to select and copy all the text in a Command Prompt window? Just press [Ctrl]+[A] followed by [Ctrl]+[C].
High-resolution support
If you have a super high-resolution display, you can select one of the Command Prompt's TrueType fonts and the operating system will now automatically scale the font to an appropriate size, based on the size of the monitor. This will make the text in the Command Prompt much easier to read at high resolutions.
Transparency
I never thought that I would see this feature natively supported in a Command Prompt. Using the slider on the Experimental tab, you can drop the opacity of the Command Prompt windows down from 100% to 30% or anywhere in between. Thus, it allows you to keep tabs on any
