ConEmu
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 . 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. 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; customizable window fonts; 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 more, and more... All settings are read from the registry (multiple named configurations are supported), after which the command line parameters are applied. Parameters /Config and /BufferHeight can only be specified on the command line. Most settings are configured using the Settings dialog, not from the command line.
