But the problem is that it is totally unusable. So I decided to look for an alternative\u00a0to cmd.exe and I found this great program called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/conemu.github.io\/en\/\">ConEmu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These are the main features taken from the <a href=\"https:\/\/conemu.github.io\/en\/#Description\">ConEmu website<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smooth and friendly window resizing;<\/li>\n<li>Tabs for editors, viewers, panels and consoles;<\/li>\n<li>Run simple GUI apps like PuTTY in tabs;<\/li>\n<li>Windows 7 Jump Lists and Progress on Taskbar buttons;<\/li>\n<li>Easily run old DOS applications (games) in Windows 7 or 64-bit OS;<\/li>\n<li>Thumbnails and tiles in Far Manager;<\/li>\n<li>Normal, maximized and full screen graphical window modes;<\/li>\n<li>Window font anti-aliasing: standard, ClearType, disabled;<\/li>\n<li>Window fonts: family, height, width, bold, italic, etc.;<\/li>\n<li>Chinese versions of Windows supported;<\/li>\n<li>Using normal\/bold\/italic fonts for different parts of the console simultaneously;<\/li>\n<li>Using 24-bit colors in Far Manager 3.x;<\/li>\n<li>ANSI X3.64 and Xterm 256 colors;<\/li>\n<li>Cursor: standard console (horizontal) or GUI (vertical);<\/li>\n<li>Optional per-application settings (e.g. palette);<\/li>\n<li>Vertical console buffer scrolling using the keyboard (BufferHeight mode);<\/li>\n<li>Show full output (1K+ lines) of last command in Far Manager&#8217;s editor\/viewer;<\/li>\n<li>Customizable Far Manager right click behaviour (long click opens context menu);<\/li>\n<li>Drag and drop (explorer style) of files and folders in Far Manager;<\/li>\n<li>Limited support of BDF fonts;<\/li>\n<li>User friendly text and block selection;<\/li>\n<li>Transparency and desktop mode;<\/li>\n<li>Customizable starting tabs;<\/li>\n<li>Configurable and clickable status bar;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the best features of this really cool console emulator for Windows.<\/p>\n<h2>Copy\/Paste Made Easy<\/h2>\n<p>You know how frustrating is to copy\/paste in cmd.exe. You have to first right-click the title bar, then select <em>Edit,\u00a0<\/em>select\u00a0<em>Mark<\/em> and then select a rectangle like if it were a picture instead of text, and then press <em>Enter\u00a0<\/em>to copy.\u00a0It&#8217;s crazy. Why did they code it like that?<\/p>\n<p>In newer versions of Windows you can right-click anywhere on the window, select\u00a0<em>Mark<\/em> and it will select text normally (not a block).\u00a0Finally you need to press\u00a0<em>Enter\u00a0<\/em>to copy. Even if it&#8217;s a little better, it&#8217;s still very bad.<\/p>\n<p>With ConEmu you just select normally like you do in every other\u00a0application that has text on it.\u00a0By default when you release the mouse button the\u00a0selected text will be auto-copied. You can paste it using the left mouse button or like you always do\u00a0by pressing Ctrl-V or Shift-Ins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 12px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.thescorpius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ConEmuCopyPaste.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-465\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-465\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.thescorpius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ConEmuCopyPaste.png?resize=648%2C361\" alt=\"ConEmu Copy\/Paste\" width=\"648\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.thescorpius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ConEmuCopyPaste.png?w=866&amp;ssl=1 866w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.thescorpius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ConEmuCopyPaste.png?resize=300%2C167&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.thescorpius.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/ConEmuCopyPaste.png?resize=768%2C427&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><em>You can see in the status bar how many\u00a0characters you have selected and the range of the selection<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Auto-discovered Tasks<\/h2>\n<p>When you want to create a new tab ConEmu shows you all the tasks you seem to have installed in your computer.
