Thank you so much for this amazing tool.
however, setting the default shell to WSL does not seem to be working. (next terminal opened is still powershell )
You were absolutely right: the Default Shell setting was being saved but never read on the spawn path. The defaultShell value made it into the store, but useTerminal only consulted workspace.shell (which is empty by default), so the main process fell through to its system default (PowerShell) and silently ignored your WSL choice.
The fix wires the preference into the resolution chain: workspace.shell → workspacePrefs.defaultShell → main-process fallback.
It applies to new terminals opened after changing the preference (existing live PTYs keep their shell — changing the default doesn't re-spawn them).

Fixed in v0.7.7 — thanks for catching this!

Closing this — please reopen if WSL still doesn't show up after upgrading.

if i close the app and reopen it the next day, all existing windows/sessions revert back to powershell.
