conhost.exe is the terminal, cmd.exe is the shell, this patch is in fact only currently used in conhost

  conhost is in the terminal repo? Huh interesting, that surprises me.

    Conhost and Terminal share quite a lot of code in fact. The text buffer, the renderer, the VT sequence parser - all that's the same codebase. That allows bugfixes and improvements to the the Terminal to also flow back to the vintage console (for people who still use that)

      Interesting tidbit - thank you for sharing. That's handy for those who prefer the vintage console (including myself).

  That is _technically_ correct (the best kind). There's some plumbing between conhost and Terminal we need to clean up before we can add it to Terminal too. We've got a branch ready, we've just got to merge a whole stack of PRs first before we can get there.
