 However, Cmder can in fact run in a variety of other terminal emulators, and even integrated IDEs. Assuming you have the latest version of Cmder, follow the following instructions to get Cmder working with your own terminal emulator.
 
+⚠ *Note:* Cmder includes built-in support for Windows Terminal directory tracking via OSC 9;9 sequences. This enables "Duplicate Tab" and "Split Pane" features to preserve the current working directory for both `cmd.exe` and PowerShell sessions.
+
+⚠ *Note:* Cmder also includes built-in support for [Windows Terminal shell integration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/tutorials/shell-integration) via OSC 133 sequences (A, B, C, D) for PowerShell sessions. This enables features like command navigation (jump between commands), command selection, visual command separators, command exit code tracking, and improved command history management in Windows Terminal.
+
 For instructions on how to integrate Cmder with your IDE, please read our [Wiki section](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/wiki#cmder-integration).
