Hi! Here’s some information regarding your questions:


1. Setting Fluent Terminal as the Default Terminal

As of now, Fluent Terminal does not have native support for being set as the default terminal in Windows 10 or 11. Windows only allows certain terminal applications (like Windows Terminal) to be set as the default terminal.

However, you can try the following workaround:

  • Create a shortcut for Fluent Terminal and customize its usage by using command-line arguments to open specific shells or tasks.
  • Set this shortcut as the preferred terminal in scripts or use it manually for your workflow.

2. Creating a Command to Open Fluent Terminal

To make a command that opens Fluent Terminal (similar to typing kali for launching Kali Linux), you can create a custom alias or script:

  1. Create a Batch File:

    • Create a file named fluent.bat (or any name) with the following content:
      start "" "C:\Path\To\FluentTerminal.exe"
    • Replace C:\Path\To\FluentTerminal.exe with the actual path to the Fluent Terminal executable.
    • Place this .bat file in a folder that is part of your system's PATH environment variable.
  2. Add Fluent Terminal to PATH (Optional):

    • If you want to open Fluent Terminal directly, add its installation folder to the PATH environment variable.

After these steps, you should be able to launch Fluent Terminal by typing fluent or your chosen command in any command prompt or terminal.


3. Alternative Default Terminal Integration

If you’re looking for seamless default terminal functionality, Windows Terminal might be a better fit, as it integrates deeply with Windows. Fluent Terminal could potentially gain this functionality in the future, but it would require changes from the developer.


Let me know if this helps or if you’d like more detailed instructions on any of the steps! 😊
