| | An alternative console window for PowerShell Hi, I know you all hate the current implementation of PowerShell's console window. Therefore I have a present for you (in case you don't already have it). Recently, I found a promising open source console window alternative that works great with PowerShell. It supports window resizing, background images and custom hotkeys. I tested the latest stable release as well as the last beta version and none of them ever crashed. There are a few issues though, like multiple lines of code get pasted as one line, but it is in active development and hey, it's open source ;-) This is an excerpt from the help: ############################################### Console is a Windows console window enhancement. It was inspired by eConsole (http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~corion) Console features include: multiple tabs text editor-like text selection different background types (solid color, image, fake transparency) alpha and color-key transparency configurable font different window styles NOTE: Console is NOT a shell. Therefore, it does not implement shell features like command-line completion, syntax coloring, command history, etc. Console is simply a nice-looking front end for a shell of your choice (cmd.exe, 4NT, bash, etc.) Other command-line utilities can also be used as 'shells' by Console. Console is hosted on Sourceforge. Get the latest news and updates there (http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/). ############################################### BTW: I'm not involed with that software in any way. -- greetings dreeschkind |
