PyCmd is a smart command prompt extension for Windows' cmd.exe; its purpose is to emulate a few power features of UNIX shells (decent Tab-completion, persistent history, etc.)
Features
- Smart Tab-completion (similar to e.g. bash)
- Searchable, persistent command history
- Enhanced editing (copy/paste, undo, emacs key bindings)
- History of recently visited directories

Very nice enhancement to CMD.EXE for the command history, the TAB completion mechanism and the trailing backslash. Really add comfort and rapidity to console usage. One small flaw however, that caused me not to give the full 5 stars: it does not "transmit" the error code received from a program to the errorlevel environment variable. Example: lets say that I write a program and my exit code is 1244 (under Windows it means "The operation being requested was not performed because the user has not been authenticated") ; well when I check the errorlevel by $ echo %errorlevel%, I get '0'... while when under regular CMD.EXE I get 1244. You may well think it's a small detail, but for me it's important that is why I did not give it 5 stars. But still it's my everyday-usage console CMD extension. Thank you for the very good work.

The ERRORLEVEL handling has been improved in release 20221113: %ERRORLEVEL% is now processed properly, and is even shown in the default prompt if it is non-zero. The "price" is that DelayedExpansion (see https://ss64.com/nt/delayedexpansion.html) has to be ON for this to work (which is now the default for PyCmd) -- this should have no practical impact for virtually all use cases.
