Configure Terminal

• Use the selected nerdfont.

Other stuff I've configured:

"theme": "dark",
    // You can add more global application settings here.
    // To learn more about global settings, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-global-settings

    // If enabled, selections are automatically copied to your clipboard.
    "copyOnSelect": true,

    // If enabled, formatted data is also copied to your clipboard
    "copyFormatting": false,

    // A profile specifies a command to execute paired with information about how it should look and feel.
    // Each one of them will appear in the 'New Tab' dropdown,
    //   and can be invoked from the commandline with `wt.exe -p xxx`
    // To learn more about profiles, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-profile-settings
    "profiles":
    {
        "defaults":
        {
            "useAcrylic": true,
            "acrylicOpacity": 0.8

Dot-sourcing cmd scripts (e.g. to set up environment like Visual Studio cmd prompt):

Install-Module Pscx -Scope CurrentUser -AllowClobber
Then:
