ConEmu-Maximus5 aims to be handy, comprehensive, fast and reliable terminal window where you may host any console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash).
As Windows console window enhancement (local terminal emulator), it presents multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable tabbed GUI window with various features.

Also, due to deep integration, ConEmu is the best companion for Far Manager, my favorite shell replacement.

Disclaimer.
ConEmu is not a shell, so it does not provide "shell features" like tab-completion, command history and others. But you can run any shell or remote access client of your choice in ConEmu! Try Clink for bash-style completion in cmd.exe and PSReadLine or PowerTab in powershell.exe. Or just run Bash from your favourite distro.
Also, ConEmu does not provide remote access (SSH/Telnet/...) too, just use your remote client (ssh.exe, telnet.exe) instead.

Features

  • proper smooth and friendly window resizing
  • several programs (even simple GUI) in tabs and splits
  • Quake style drop-down
  • Windows 7 Jump Lists and Progress on Taskbar buttons
  • easily run old DOS applications (games) in Windows 7 or 64-bit OS
  • configurable and clickable status bar
  • optional per-application settings (e.g. palettes)
  • normal, maximized and full screen window graphic modes
  • customizable font family, height, width, bold, italic, anti-aliasing (standard, clear type, disabled)
  • using normal/bold/italic fonts for different parts of console simultaneously
  • user friendly text and block selection
  • vertical or horisontal cursor
  • ANSI sequences and Xterm 256 colors
  • drag and drop (explorer style), thumbnails and tiles in Far manager
  • and more, and more...

User Reviews

  • 👍👍👍👍👍
  • I tried a number of alternatives and this far surpasses them all, for multiple tabbed windows with bash shell. Thanks!
  • Wow, wished I had found this previous. It would have saved so much pain and time (multiple Git Bash Windows open, plus Powershell and even Command windows). I can't wait to learn more about its features.
  • Tabbed mode GUI is somewhat useful in special situations like many repeated routine actions that requite attention. So I respect this project very much since I have 1st time tried it.
  • wonderful tools, support administrator privileges update, maybe better to add a shortcut menu for frequency used path entry
