So I can be viewing the website in a browser on windows, then Ctrl+~ to get my shell/vim screen, type some code, the server restarts and I can reload. Fast feedback loop. I love it!
Please come up with reverse searches and forward searches in terminal and I swear I will change my primary OS to Windows.
You'll get forward and reverse searching, split panes, windows (similar to tabs), excellent window and pane management binds (moving them, switching orders, zooming in / out, etc.), persisted sessions that you can save and restore across reboots and good mouse support if you want it.
The best part is it works the same with every terminal so you can super charge any terminal and use the same tmux configuration in multiple environments. This way you can make a terminal choice based on optimizing for speed, low key press latency and other traits that make a terminal feel nice to use.
I gave a command line talk once that focuses on using tmux, Vim and various Unix tools at https://github.com/nickjj/nyhackr-cli-dev-env. The slides and video links are listed there. The videos all have timestamps so you can jump around to the tmux bits pretty easily.

ConEmu manages the whole elevated/non-elevated situation better than Windows Terminal in my opinion. As mentioned in the article elevated and non-elevated Windows Terminal windows are two different apps. In ConEmu they are tabs in the app. The real benefit is that you can easily start either a elevated or non-elevated window within ConEmu, of course this is only possible if ConEmu was started in elevated mode in the…
In Windows Terminal, I'm sure you can create a new profile with your chosen shell prepended with "start-process -Verb RunAs" that will offer similar fuctionality.
> Many existing terminals support a feature whereby a user can press a keybinding anywhere in the OS, and summon their terminal application. [...] This global summon action is often referred to as "quake mode", a reference to the video game Quake, who's console slid in from the top. This is not to play Quake in WT, this allows WT to behave like the console window in Quake descendants that displays when [ ~] is presse…
Also It is pretty good to see Windows Terminal finally gets usable features.
A POSIX compatible shell would be nice...

And it seems some improvements to mixed elevation is coming soon: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/8455
> For a long time, we've been researching adding support to the Windows Terminal for running both unelevated and elevated (admin) tabs side-by-side, in the same window. However, after much research, we've determined that there isn't a safe way to do this without opening the Terminal up as a potential escalation-of-privilege vector.
I am using iTerm2 just for this feature. Otherwise I'd use Alacritty Also It is pretty good to see Windows Terminal finally gets usable features. A POSIX compatible shell would be nice...
