    ConEmu-Maximus5 - Handy Windows terminal




    About ConEmu


    ConEmu-Maximus5 is a Windows console emulator with tabs, which presents
    multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable GUI
    window with various features.


    Initially, the program was created as a companion to Far Manager,
    my favorite shell replacement - file and archive management,
    command history and completion, powerful editor.


    Today, ConEmu can be used with any other console application or simple
    GUI tools (like PuTTY for example).

    ConEmu is an active project, open to suggestions.

    Description


    ConEmu starts a console program in hidden console window and provides an
    alternative customizable GUI window with various features:


    * smooth and friendly window resizing;
    * tabs for editors, viewers, panels and consoles;
    * run simple GUI apps in tabs;
    * Windows 7 Jump Lists and Progress on Taskbar buttons;
    * easily run old DOS applications (games) in Windows 7 or 64-bit OS;
    * thumbnails and tiles in Far Manager;
    * normal, maximized and full screen graphical window modes;
    * window font anti-aliasing: standard, ClearType, disabled;
    * window fonts: family, height, width, bold, italic, etc.;
    * Chinese verions of Windows supported;
    * using normal/bold/italic fonts for different parts of the console simultaneously;
    * using 24-bit colors in Far Manager 3.x;
    * ANSI X3.64 and Xterm 256 colors;
    * cursor: standard console (horizontal) or GUI (vertical);
    * optional per-application settings (e.g. palette);
    * vertical console buffer scrolling using the keyboard (BufferHeight mode);
    * show full output (1K+ lines) of last command in Far Manager's editor/viewer;
    * customizable Far Manager right click behaviour (long click opens context menu);
    * drag and drop (explorer style) of files and folders in Far Manager;
    * limited support of BDF fonts;
    * user friendly text and block selection;
    * transparency and desktop mode;
    * customizable starting tabs;
    * configurable and clickable status bar;
    * and much more - take a look at the Settings dialog or https://conemu.github.io/en/Settings.html


    All settings are read from the registry or xml-file (multiple named
    configurations are supported), after which the command line parameters
    are applied. Most settings are configured using the Settings dialog,
    not from the command line.

    What shall i say- i mentioned it here, so it's woth a look for the interested because its not as others are.


    it has multiple tabs - so you can open one "command as admin" for any purpose and a powershell-tab for... powershell.
    I was quite surprised when i accidently clicked somewhere and whoops-
    it swallowed thinAir and thinAir became a console-app inside of this "console" - now i want to create an automatism to process thinbasic-code "live" e.g. some variables that are stored (do we have memory-mapped files now- do we? do we?
    Hell yeah. transport of variables problem solved...

    I don't see any end of functions and purposes. You look,
    i play a little "console game" in the meantime

    The conEmu can be used as window, container for different apps, even as control on a simple dialog
    SetParentHWND(<HWND>)
    - Change ConEmu parent window during Inside mode
    HWND: new parent window handle

    I think there are missing some Forum-sections as beta-testing and support
