Originally created by @liamclarkedev on GitHub (Oct 2, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: OS Build 19041.508
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.3.2651.0

Steps to reproduce

Add newTab command

{ "command": { "action": "newTab", "index": 0 }, "keys": "ctrl+T" }

Set default shell to anything other than the first in the array

{
    "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",
    "defaultProfile": "{ubuntu-guid}",
    "copyOnSelect": false,
    "copyFormatting": false,

    "profiles": {
        "defaults": {},
        "list": [
            {
                "guid": "{powershell-guid}",
                "name": "Windows PowerShell",
                "commandline": "powershell.exe",
                "hidden": false
            },
            {
                "guid": "{ubuntu-guid}",
                "hidden": false,
                "name": "Ubuntu",
                "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl",
            },
        ]
    },
    // ...
}

Create new tab with command

ctrl+T

Expected behavior

Expect it to take the default shell

Actual behavior

It takes the first in the list, in this case Windows PowerShell. It's not really an issue that would block anyone as you simply move the default object to the first item in the list, its just unexpected.

                                   ^^^^^^^^^^
                                   this part means "first profile in the list"

Stupid moment... thanks, without thought I figured that was tab index, not array index
