Quake putty10/2/2023 ![]() I can open a new Tab with Ctrl-T (or lots) and use Ctrl-Tab to move between them. Note the general loveliness of this understated shell. You'll have a nice "New Tab" option where you can make one of either shell. And I used the vspowershell.ico icon 'cause I'm into flair.%SystemRoot%\syswow64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe.Then, make another Tab called PowerShell with this path:.I also set my icon to the vscommand.ico custom awesome VS icon I created a while back.%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86.Be aware of the PATH if you are not on 圆4 like I am. Set your Console|cmd.exe first tab to this shell if you want it to be a Visual Studio command prompt.Under Tabs, you (if you are me) want two default tabs, one for CMD.EXE and one for PowerShell because you don't like your peas and carrots to touch on your plate. That'll save you the Control-C if you like. At this point, you may want to device if you want "Copy on Select" to happen automatically under Behavior. Under Hotkeys, change Copy Selection to Ctrl-C and Paste to Ctrl-V then rejoice and wonder why Windows doesn't work like this today.You'll have to click on the hotkey, then in the textbox, then type the hot-key you want AND press Assign for it to stick. Under Hotkeys, change the New Tab 1 hotkey to Ctrl-T because that's what it should be.Not too in your face, but enough glassiness to say "I'm a subtle badass." Set Window Transparency to a nice conservative 40 for both Active and Inactive.Black background, Kermit green foreground color. Under Appearance, set the font to Consolas 15.Under Appearance|More, hide the menu, status bar and toolbar.Under Console, set your default Startup Directory.Right-click in the main console and click Edit | Settings. ![]() Here's how I set it up for my default awesomeness. I downloaded Console2 at and put it c:\dev\utils which is in my PATH. Open Source projects may be done, but they are never dead. They were on build 122 then, and they are, magically and to their extreme credit, still around and on build 147. Here we are 6 years later and I hopped over there to see Console2 was still being developed. ![]() I blogged about Console2 as a better prompt for CMD.exe in 2005. I spend lots of time there and I will race anyone with a mouse, any day. I actually blogged about text mode as a missed opportunity in 2004. Not much interesting has happened in the command prompt world in Windows since, well, ever. I was working on my Mac today and while I maintain that the OS X finder is as effective as shooting your hands fill of Novocaine, I remain envious of the simplicity of their Terminal.
