How to detect if running in the new Windows Terminal?
Comment
1 / 1
To detect if your program is running in the new Windows Terminal, you can check the value of the WT_SESSION
environment variable. The WT_SESSION
environment variable is set to a non-empty value when running in the Windows Terminal.
Here's an example in Python on how to check the WT_SESSION
environment variable:
pythonimport os
if os.getenv('WT_SESSION'):
print("Running in Windows Terminal")
else:
print("Not running in Windows Terminal")
In this example, the os.getenv('WT_SESSION')
function retrieves the value of the WT_SESSION
environment variable. If the value is non-empty, it means the program is running in the Windows Terminal. You can customize the actions based on the result of this check.
Note that the WT_SESSION
environment variable is specific to the Windows Terminal and may not be present or have the same behavior in other terminal emulators or consoles.
