Tabbed Console starts here

For quite a while now, the most up-voted open item in our Windows Console UserVoice has been an ask for Console to support multiple tabbed pages.

In Windows 10 Insider build 17618, the first taste of the new Tabbed Console support arrived, courtesy of the new "Tab Sets" feature, built by the Windows Shell team (thanks all!).

The new "Tab Sets" UX is being applied liberally to many Windows apps and tools, including File Explorer, and … in our case … Windows Console! You can read more about tab sets in the Windows 10 Insiders build 17618 announcement post.

So what does Tabbed Console look like? In the screenshot below, you can see that the PowerShell Console has one tab where the title-bar used to be! To the right of the main tab, is a + button that you can click to create a new tab.

Alternatively, you can create a new tab by hitting WIN + CTRL + T.

Notes:

1. The Tabbed Console feature is very new and not yet finished!
2. Currently, when you hit the new tab button (or hit WIN + CTRL + T), you'll see a "new tab" page.
3. We're working with the Shell Tabs team to populate the new tab page with useful links in future builds and we'd love to hear your thoughts & suggestions
4. Please, submit Tabbed Console feedback via the Windows 10 Feedback Hub app (Desktop Environment --> Sets*) which will routed your feedback directly to the Shell team!
5. Please DO NOT file tabbed Console bugs on the Console team's GitHub issues page

Thanks in advance for your support & feedback! We look forward to hearing from you!
