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.

All settings are read from the registry or xml-file (multiple named

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
