ConEmu (short for Console Emulator) is a console window (terminal emulator) and tabbed environment for Windows.

ConEmu (short for Console Emulator) is a console window (terminal emulator) and tabbed environment for Windows. ConEmu presents multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable GUI window with tabs, a status bar and other features. Screenshots.

Initially, the program was created as a companion to FAR Manager, bringing to this console application some features common for graphical file managers (thumbnails and tiles, drag and drop with other windows, colored panel background and true color interface).

  • Run simple GUI apps in tabs
  • Attach and detach console windows
  • Configurable colors
  • Optional background image and transparency
  • Line-based or block-based text selection (instead of the column selection in the windows console)
  • Integration with FAR Manager
  • User-defined startup tabs
  • Windows 7 Jump Lists and Progress on Taskbar buttons
  • Easily run old DOS applications (games) in Windows 7 - DosBox integration
  • Running as Administrator selected tabs
  • Thumbnails and tiles in Far Manager
  • Full screen graphical window modes
  • Using 24-bit colors in Far Manager 3.x
  • Drag and drop (explorer style) of files and folders in Far Manager
