Research direction
The issue describes a problem with Alt+Enter not switching to command line on Windows. Investigate how broot handles terminal shell switching on Windows, specifically the 'br install' command. Check the broot source code for Windows specific handling of the terminal switching feature. Look at any related discussions or comments in the issue for clues. Test on a Windows 10 machine to reproduce the issue and determine if it's a bug in the code or a user misunderstanding.
