Please default to inline over new window
I love it but new window over inline by default feels like a really bad choice. It’s unfamiliar to users on other platforms, which this is copying. I suggest changing that.
@dylanmtaylor I thought you can define the default behaviour in a Settings window?
Their blog post says that new window is the default
@dylanmtaylor i was referring to this:
As I understood, this is why it is not default: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sudo/#security-considerations
Inline sudo is never a safe way and has millons of ways to exploit by a malware because it shares the same input handle/fd. Note that the same security issue also applies to Linux.
Thanks for the feedback. We won't be changing the default behavior for the reasons outlined above, but luckily you can set the configuration to whatever choice works best for you and would only have to do so once.
