You can get tmux session persistence and multiplexing in Windows Terminal by running tmux inside WSL and setting the default shell to PowerShell. New panes and windows will then start pwsh.exe instead of a Linux shell. Here’s a minimal setup using small wrappers and the tmux -C attach trick to configure new sessions.
I miss the feature in readline (Bash/Zsh) where Ctrl+x, Ctrl+v switches to Vi command mode temporarily. In that workflow, entering Insert mode switches back to Emacs mode. PSReadLine has a command ViCommandMode, but binding it directly in Emacs mode will report errors on every key input. The solution requires handling the mode change event to toggle the global EditMode between Emacs and Vi.
