    Hi,

    I just use terminal on my Mac to start a q process and then either directly work in the console or use a IDE QStudio, QPad, kdbstudio, IntelliJ or VS Code to connect to it. That works fine. You can do the same on Windows using CMD and the IDEs

    Command prompt is the default, but the new Windows Terminal app is much nicer. I also use it to open sessions to WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

    Visual Studio Code is a great option if building up bigger projects. An official kdb plugin is available for it.
