Upon trying to do a new install I found that the font used in VSCode was not included.

• Replace Caskaydia in VScode to Cascadia Code PL font (official).
• Check if other fonts need to be replaced. (Powershell? Oh-my-posh?)
• Check if more apps are missconfigurated from missing font.

Windows Terminal is a really powerful tool that I have been using pretty much daily in different computers (work/home), so I thought it would be a good idea if I could share my own configuration amongst these computers.

Steps

• Add new Windows Terminal *.yaml file for Windows only.
• Add new step (Windows only) to install the specified *.yaml file.
• Add symlinks for the configuration files used by Windows Terminal.

Found one issue during the addition of support for Windows Terminal: As many other Microsoft applications, the configuration for Windows Terminal is not really a dotfile, it is stored directly into some hidden folders within APPDATA and also in the original folder where the application is installed.

The path within APPDATA seems to be version dependant (or at least OS dependant):
E.g: ~/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.WindowsTerminalPreview_8wekyb3d8bbwe/LocalState/settings.json

We should find a way to avoid being version dependant, as this will most likely fail in future updates or patches of Windows or Windows Terminal.

The file defaults.json is well hidden within the folder WindowsApps; inside Program Files. The issue with this is that WindowsApps is really well protected against any kind of modifications, as the owner of that folder is set to TrustedInstaller, and the rest do not even have permission to view the files.
