Windows Terminal Preview 1.15 Update: Keyboard Selection, Scroll Mark, and PowerShell Patch Removal
The Windows Terminal Preview 1.15 update introduces keyboard selection (mark mode) with new shortcuts, experimental scroll mark actions, removes the PowerShell black‑bar patch, and adds several other enhancements such as DECPS sound support and expanded color scheme options.
Windows Terminal Preview has been updated to version 1.15, bringing several new features and improvements.
Keyboard selection (mark mode) now allows selecting any text in the buffer using the keyboard. Press Ctrl+Shift+M to enter mark mode, use arrow keys with Shift to select, Esc to exit, and Ctrl+A to select all. Additional commands include markMode (toggle), toggleBlockSelection (block selection), and switchSelectionEndpoint (switch endpoint).
The experimental scroll mark feature can automatically add scroll marks for each command when experimental.autoMarkPrompts is enabled. Available actions are addMark (optionally with a color parameter), scrollToMark (with a direction of first, previous, next, or last), clearMark, and clearAllMarks.
A PowerShell “black bar” patch has been removed because newer PowerShell versions include the fix, allowing Oh‑My‑Posh to display black background prompts.
Other improvements include support for the DECPS escape sequence to play sounds, automatic copying of default settings when the preview settings file is empty, new color names “magenta”, “brightMagenta”, “purple”, and “brightPurple”, and a change to a single coordinate type in the project.
