We can use the Enter-PSHostProcess cmdlet (the interprocess communication is based on named pipes that you can inspect using the Get-ChildItem -Path "\\.\pipe\" -Filter '*pshost*' command) to enter an interactive session connecting to a new pane.

I would like to span multiple panes with specific code being executed through PowerShell. While new panes can be created using keyboard shortcuts ( documentation) I’m more interested in doing this dynamically through code. I’m using the windowingBehavior:"useExisting" global setting described here to ensure that new instances of a Terminal (including new panes) launch in the same window. This is also to workaround a bug where the -windows 0 option does not work see here. In this post, I’m using the current latest beta release v1.7.572.0. While this functionality has been introduced quite early with the releases of Windows Terminal the team has added additional functionality recently that expands the functionality. One of the many great features of the Windows Terminal is the ability to split a window into panes: In this post, I would like to introduce a PowerShell function to create new split-panes for the Windows Terminal. ![]() Title: “Control Split-Panes in Windows Terminal through PowerShell”Įxcerpt: “In this post, I would like to introduce a PowerShell function to create new split-panes for the Windows Terminal.”
