Select a command line in any app. Run it in a click. No terminal window. No paste. No alt-tab. That's what Inline Terminal does on WindowSill. getwindowsill.app/blog/run-termi… #Terminal #PowerShell #Windows #Bash #SysAdmin #FluentUI #WindowsTerminal

Stop copy-pasting commands from docs into your terminal. Select the command. Run it right there. Output comes back to you. I built an extension for WindowSill that kills the alt-tab loop. getwindowsill.app/blog/run-termi… #Terminal #PowerShell #Windows #Bash

Editor Bar v4 for Visual Studio is out 🎉 I finally found some time to fix a few long-standing pains, add some polish, and move the extension a few steps forward. github.com/jiripolasek/Ed…

@Lala_marlala Because I released this app before PowerToys dock existed, and they don’t work the same way. WindowSill is designed to react to your context, such as foreground app or selected text anywhere.

I kept missing meetings notifications. So I built a fix: Outlook, Google, iCloud calendars on your WindowSill. Full screen notifications, upcoming meetings in the bar, one-click join. getwindowsill.app/blog/calendar-… Free & Available now!

@XenoPanther One of my favorite movies!

Xeno@XenoPanther·5 May

I'm not a movie person but if this comedy is throughout the movie I might grab myself a copy

BlueBriefing🎬🍿@Uzonna7

Airplane 11! is the only "perfect" comedy ever made. No filler, no wasted frames, just 88 minutes of pure, relentless dopamine. Modern spoofs could never. 🎬🎥 Airplane 11 🔥❤️😂

@Sean_Endicott_ Have you try WindowSill for widget apps? Next week, it will have a Terminal and Calendar integration!

English

Sean Endicott@Sean_Endicott_·2 May

This is a big step in the right direction. Next step is Windows having more widgets worth using.

Zac Bowden@zacbowden

This is a big change, one that I've heard will cost MS a lot in revenue. It's all in the name of making Windows 11 feel cleaner and less bloated/ad ridden.

@unixterminal You can use WindowSill on W10 to proof read any text from any app, not just Notepad 😉

English

Hayden Barnes@unixterminal·29 Nis

I was on my old T470s which runs Windows 10 ESU, I went to Notepad to write something out really quick, but then when I was done...Copilot wasn't there to proof it for me. I missed Copilot in Notepad.

@dotMorten Is WPF list view’s item panel not virtualized by default ?

.Morten 🪁🗺💻@dotMorten·23 Nis

Did a fun little comparison between #WPF and #WinUI. Simple app with ListView and 100 items in it. Code as close as possible to each other. The WPF memory usage after a bit of scrolling is just nuts

@XenoPanther For a second I thought you had WindowSill's Perf Counter 😂

@TarasBuria Yep, once the reply is generated, it gets dismissed. Remember the goal is to make quick edits to a text, not to do a chat box. That said, I get the confusion. A history of a few requests could be nice. Can you tell me about your workflow so I understand how you work with it ?

English

Taras Buria@TarasBuria·15 Nis

@VelerSoftware Yes, but the problem is that once the reply is generated, it disappears after I click somewhere else (and there is no history). Am I missing something?

English

Etienne Baudoux | Software Engineer @Microsoft@VelerSoftware·14 Nis

Users wanted better system monitoring in WindowSill. So I rebuilt the Perf Counter with live charts for CPU, RAM & GPU, right from your sill bar. No need to open Task Manager. 🔗 getwindowsill.app #WinUI #Windows #FOSS

@TarasBuria I considered it. Right now if you click away while it runs, it goes into a smaller sill that lists all your AI Activity. Have you seen it ?

English

Taras Buria@TarasBuria·15 Nis

@VelerSoftware Do you think it is possible to make the writing tools window stay open when I click outside? Maybe a button to pin it or something.

Etienne Baudoux | Software Engineer @Microsoft@VelerSoftware·15 Nis

@TarasBuria Thanks for sharing this one ! Gonna fix that !

Taras Buria@TarasBuria·15 Nis

@VelerSoftware I think it short-circuited a little after I subscribed while having lifetime access :)

@TarasBuria Dang it. I never reproduced it but I will investigate. Thanks for reporting it !

@VelerSoftware Restarted the app, but the bug is still there

English

Etienne Baudoux | Software Engineer @Microsoft@VelerSoftware·14 Nis

@TarasBuria Did you switch from light to dark theme ? There’s a known issue where some colors don’t update properly, causing such problem until you restart the app.

English

Taras Buria@TarasBuria·14 Nis

@VelerSoftware Yep, I use 125%. Also dis:

@TarasBuria 🫨 is your monitor scaled ? I will investigate it. I use Medium but I don’t hit this issue at the moment.

@VelerSoftware Icons are cut off when the bar is set to medium
