I've saved this file as /usr/local/bin/new-tab
but I think there is a way to configure it as Ctrl+Shift+T shortcut somehow,
yet I really wanted to write this down as I've lost 20 minutes of my life to have WSL behaving just like any regular Linux distro in a console/terminal.
#!/usr/bin/env sh
cmd.exe /c wt.exe wt -w 0 nt -d "$(pwd)" -p "$WSL_DISTRO_NAME"
If you have better tips, hints, or follow ups, you're more than welcome to share, thank you!
