Once you have created a task, you can quickly open a new tab for one of these tasks, as shown in the image below: I have for example **PowerShell** there, a few of the root directories for some projects and the** Visual Studio Command prompt**. I made an animated gif (don’t you love animated GIFs?) to show how easy it is to create a task to automatically open the prompt in a certain directory: (/content/images/2013/10/add_task_thumb1.gif "add_task")](/content/images/2013/10/add_task1.gif)Of course, you could add whatever task you want. It allows you to add a few common tabs that you want to be able to open quickly. A task is basically a shortcut to a list of commands that start up a process in a new tab. This is really annoying if you always have to be in the same folder and have to navigate every time. When you open a new tab in ConEmu, the standard prompt you get is just the cmd.exe-prompt and it starts up in the ConEmu installation folder. Jumplists and Progress bars (Windows 7+)Īlthough this list alone should have convinced youc already, I want to highlight a few items and show you how useful they can be.User friendly text selection and** copy-paste**.Full customizable color and font settings.After using it for a quite a while, I fell in love with the command-prompt again. I didn’t really look for an alternative, because I just thought that was the way it was. Not knowing better, for years I coped with this inconvenience and always dreaded it whenever I had to open a prompt (which is quite often since I’m a developer). It still has the same issues it had years ago: copy-pasting is a hassle, it doesn’t properly resize, in short everything is cumbersome if you work on the command-line under Windows. Nothing has changed over the last decade or longer. And then there’s the windows command-prompt. Browsers have gotten tabs, you can do everything off-line and interfaces are slicker than ever. Over the last decade, almost all software has made huge leaps in usability.
