command line - Is there a better Windows Console Window? -

-

i find working on command line in windows frustrating, because console window wretched use compared terminal applications on linux , os x such "rxvt", "xterm", or "terminal". major complaints:

  1. no standard copy/paste. have turn on "mark" mode , it's available multi-level popup triggered (small) left hand corner button. copy , paste need invoked same menu

  2. you can't arbitrarily resize window dragging, need set preference (back multi-level popup) each time want resize window

  3. you can make window big before horizontal scroll bars enter picture. horizontal scroll bars suck.

  4. with cmd.exe shell, can't navigate folders \\netpath notation (unc?), need map network drive. sucks when working on multiple machines going have different drives mapped

are there tricks or applications, (paid or otherwise), address these issue?

sorry self-promotion, i'm author of console emulator, not mentioned here.

conemu opensource console emulator tabs, represents multiple consoles , simple gui applications 1 customizable gui window.

initially, program designed work far manager (my favorite shell replacement - file , archive management, command history , completion, powerful editor). conemu can used other console application or simple gui tools (like putty example). conemu live project, open suggestions.

a brief excerpt long list of options:

  • latest versions of conemu may set default terminal windows
  • use font installed in system, or copied folder of program (ttf, otf, fon, bdf)
  • run selected tabs administrator (vista+) or selected user
  • windows 7 jump lists , progress on taskbar
  • integration dosbox (useful in 64bit systems run dos applications)
  • smooth resize, maximized , fullscreen window modes
  • scrollbar hidden, may revealed mouseover or checkbox in settings
  • optional settings (e.g. pallette) selected applications
  • user friendly text , block selection (from keyboard or mouse), copy, paste, text search in console
  • ansi x3.64 , xterm 256 color

far manager users acquire shell style drag-n-drop, thumbnails , tiles in panles, tabs editors , viewers, true colors , font styles (italic/bold/underline).

ps. far manager supports unc paths (\\server\share\...)
