Windows Terminal Preview v1.20.10822.0

[DHowett]

Windows Terminal Preview 1.20 needed some servicing too, so I figured... why not?

Bug Fixes and Changes

• We've rolled back to an older compiler to get Terminal working on Intel Core 2 Duo machines again (!) (build: roll back to a build container with the 14.38 compiler #16907)
• ReadConsoleOutputCharacterW no longer fails on lines containing narrow surrogate pairs (Fix a ReadConsoleOutputCharacter regression #16898)
• Auto-detected URLs and search results are no longer pushed around by wide characters (oops) (Fix bugs in CharToColumnMapper #16787) (thanks @comzyh and @lhecker!)
• We will now display control characters literally if they were produced with the Windows Console APIs (Fix conpty rendering of control characters in the buffer #16825) (thanks @j4james!)
• So many of you have screenshots that contain our "set terminal as default?" banner, which we take to mean that you never noticed it. We got rid of it. Balance is restored. (Remove the "set default terminal" banner #16873)
• Entering the tab switcher via the command palette no longer selects the wrong tab (Update CommandPalette.cpp to ignore _filterTextChanged on TabSwitchMode #16858) (thanks @AlejandroBlanco2001!)
• All localizations are now checked into the project, so you can build any historic version with all of its original languages (Check the localizations into the project nightly #16835)

Does this PowerShell support ANSI colors again? If so, how to enable them? They're currently broken in my Windows 11 Windows PowerShell Windows Terminal
Version: 1.19.10573.0:

PS C:\Users\C> $PSStyle.OutputRendering = 'ANSI'
The property 'OutputRendering' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.
At line:1 char:1
+ $PSStyle.OutputRendering = 'ANSI'
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PropertyNotFound

That doesn't look like a Terminal problem to me. That looks like a PowerShell issue?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.management.automation.psstyle.outputrendering?view=powershellsdk-7.4.0

Are you using PowerShell Core (7.0+)?

[zadjii-msft]

Windows PowerShell

Oh yea, that'll probably explain it. "Windows PowerShell" is PowerShell 5, which looks like it didn't yet support PSStyle.OutputRendering

[CTimmerman]

The naming is extremely confusing. Thanks for looking into it.

I found the solution is using "\x1b[" instead of "\x9b", but then it stops working in Git Bash in VS Code while it starts working outside VS Code. See https://gist.github.com/CTimmerman/ddb19887b7f5e36eea122deb5eaf7431

I think that C1 control sequences are not as widely supported as C0 ones. As well: if the terminal hosting Git Bash and VSCode's terminal do not support C0 controls... the answer may be different:

• Git Bash
  • If you're using mintty, this should work.
  • If you're using the Windows Console, see below.
• VSCode
  • VT support on Windows all-up requires console applications to opt in by enabling the ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING "console mode". Terminal enables it by default as a convenience, but that does cause applications to rely on it as a shorthand. You should be able to trigger it handily from Python.
