工作上使用 Mac 有 iTerm2 + oh my zsh，還有 autosuggestions（解救蒼生 QQ）

雖然家裡 Windows 電腦安裝了 WSL，但有時使用 gcloud、kubectl，會有很慢的問題

PowerShell 又一直覺得難看且不好用 XD，因此搜尋了一下怎麼修改 Windows Terminal

主要是筆記給未來換新電腦的自己，以及分享給有需要的人

修改 font

download Nerd Fonts
解壓縮後找到喜歡的字體，安裝檔名後面是 Windows Compatible.ttf 的檔案
Windows Terminal 更改字體

修改透明度

點開啟
開啟壓克力，並調整透明度

就會看到 terminal 變透明了！

info

💡 這邊要注意的是，Windows 設定的透明效果要記得開啟，不然 terminal 設定的透明會無效

Install PowerShell

open Microsoft Store and find PowerShell
將 PowerShell 改成預設

修改 terminal 色彩配置

打開 Windows Terminal 設定檔

首先搜尋原本就有的 One Half Dark 如下

{
  "background": "#282C34",
  "black": "#282C34",
  "blue": "#61AFEF",
  "brightBlack": "#5A6374",
  "brightBlue": "#61AFEF",
  "brightCyan": "#56B6C2",
  "brightGreen": "#98C379",
  "brightPurple": "#C678DD",
  "brightRed": "#E06C75",
  "brightWhite": "#DCDFE4",
  "brightYellow": "#E5C07B",
  "cursorColor": "#FFFFFF",
  "cyan": "#56B6C2",
  "foreground": "#DCDFE4",
  "green": "#98C379",
  "name": "One Half Dark",
  "purple": "#C678DD",
  "red": "#E06C75",
  "selectionBackground": "#FFFFFF",
  "white": "#DCDFE4",
  "yellow": "#E5C07B"
}

再複製貼上一個新的，並修改 background & name

{
  "background": "#001B26", // 修改 background
  "black": "#282C34",
  "blue": "#61AFEF",
  "brightBlack": "#5A6374",
  "brightBlue": "#61AFEF",
  "brightCyan": "#56B6C2",
  "brightGreen": "#98C379",
  "brightPurple": "#C678DD",
  "brightRed": "#E06C75",
  "brightWhite": "#DCDFE4",
  "brightYellow": "#E5C07B",
  "cursorColor": "#FFFFFF",
  "cyan": "#56B6C2",
  "foreground": "#DCDFE4",
  "green": "#98C379",
  "name": "One Half Dark (modded)", // 修改 name
  "purple": "#C678DD",
  "red": "#E06C75",
  "selectionBackground": "#FFFFFF",
  "white": "#DCDFE4",
  "yellow": "#E5C07B"
}

改成剛剛的顏色配置

Install Scoop

command-line installer for Windows

# install scoop
iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex

# install some packages
scoop install curl sudo jq

# check install successfully
curl 'https://api.inkdrop.app/' | jq .

Install NeoVim

# install neovim
scoop install neovim gcc

# check install successfully
nvim

使用 nvim 可能不符合使用習慣，待會會再做修改

Customize PowerShell config file

建立 user_profile.ps1 然後編輯

cd ~

nvim .config/powershell/user_profile.ps1

user_profile.ps1 加入 alias

# Alias
Set-Alias vim nvim
Set-Alias grep findstr

編輯電腦的 $PROFILE

nvim $PROFILE.CurrentUserCurrentHost

# 加入這段，讓 $PROFILE 指向自製的 user_profile.ps1
. $env:USERPROFILE\.config\powershell\user_profile.ps1

之後可以試試直接用 vim or grep 測試有沒有成功

Install oh-my-posh

install posh-git and oh-my-posh

Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser -Force
Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser -Force

修改 user_profile.ps1

cd ~

vim .config/powershell/user_profile.ps1

加入

# Prompt
Import-Module posh-git
Import-Module oh-my-posh
Set-PoshPrompt powerlevel10k_lean

之後可能要開新的 terminal session，或是重開 terminal 才會開始安裝，然後會看到新的 theme

Install Terminal-Icons

Install-Module -Name Terminal-Icons -Repository PSGallery -Force

Import-Module Terminal-Icons

Install PSReadline

# install PSReadline
Install-Module -Name PSReadline -AllowPrerelease -Scope CurrentUser -Force -SkipPublisherCheck

# autocompletion
Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource History

# option (config that I don't use)
Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionViewStyle ListView

Others

themes
測試時 terminal 輸入，就可以看到改變的 theme，確定要用時記得加入 user_profile.ps1
```
Set-PoshPrompt [theme_name]
```
