running a program

Zibri — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 12:01:14 -0000

If I run (from start menu):
I:\Console-2.00b148-Beta_64bit\Console2\Console.exe program.exe
it always starts cmd.exe

It would be nice if it could support running like:

console.exe bash ~

or console.exe myprogram -mypar1 -mypar2

I tried with -r but it does not work.

apps runable with ConHost and Powershell are not Console2 and Powershell

Tommy The Geek — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 13:57:20 -0000

When I run powershell in Console2 on my company computer I cant run some applications.
Is the cause a windows policy conflict?

ConHost --> Powershell

Windows PowerShell

How does Dump Screen Buffer work?

Ronald — Tue, 24 Mar 2015 13:40:22 -0000

A hot key "dump screen buffer" can be configured. How does this function work? The name sounds promising - as if I could copy the content of the console window to a file. However, pressing the assigned hotkey doesn't seem to have any effect.

#22 Reset Login Shell

Kirill — Sat, 18 Jan 2014 01:36:39 -0000

Settings are stored in %appdata%\Console\console.xml

If you use my unofficial build from http://kirill.ca you can try launching the console with -safe but if the program actually exits cleanly it's not going to help, and you should try -safe -t non-existing-tab-name

Reset Login Shell

NegativeLatency — Fri, 17 Jan 2014 18:09:10 -0000

I attempted to change my login shell in the console settings to powershell.exe and misclicked. Now when Console.exe launches it crashes with no option to revert back to cmd.exe.

Where are the settings stored so I can revert back to the default?

[I'm a big fan of Console. Thanks for all your hard work!]

#21 Colour settings

Kirill — Tue, 26 Nov 2013 16:14:26 -0000

Bill, colours in Edit > Settings > Console are global for all tabs. If you use my unofficial build from http://kirill.ca then you can set all your colours when you configure a tab.

The cursor colour is per-tab setting. You will find it in the Cursor group on the Main tab of Edit > Settings > Tabs.

Colour settings

zeltus — Tue, 26 Nov 2013 09:47:57 -0000

I find setting screen colours in Console to be difficult. Selection, Background and Font colours are in all different places.

Would it be possible to put these all on one screen?

And for thje life of me I can't find out how to change the cursor colour - it seems intent on being the same colour as the background, which is irritating!

Cheers

Bill

#20 Selection doesn't work

Please close it since problem was successfully solved. Thanks for support.

#20 Selection doesn't work

Basil Peace — Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:43:40 -0000

Thank you for the answer. I've understood how it works.
I expected that I should press and hold mouse button and then press Shift. However, it actually works contrariwise: I should hold Shift and only then use mouse.

#20 Selection doesn't work

Kirill — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 02:02:32 -0000

Your console.xml (thank you for attaching it!) indicates that you should be able to select text with Left Shift + Mouse. You can verify and change the settings in Edit > Settings > Hotkeys > Mouse.
