Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/7793

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

Adds a new setting, bellStyle, to be able to disable the audible bell added in #7679. Currently, this setting accepts two values:

  • audible: play a noise on a bell
  • none: Don't play a noise.

In the future, we can add a "bellStyle": "visible" for flashing the Terminal instead of making a noise on bell.

  • almost certainly going to explode on merge with #7667

PR Checklist

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

FOR DISCUSSION: Should bellStyle just be bell?

Validation Steps Performed

Pressing Ctrl+G in cmd, and hitting enter is an easy way of triggering a bell. I set the setting to none, and presto, the bell stopped.
