ConEmu
Tabbed terminal emulator for Windows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ConEmu (short for Console emulator) is a free and open-source tabbed terminal emulator for Windows.[3][4] ConEmu presents multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable GUI window with tabs and a status bar. It also provides emulation for ANSI escape codes for color, bypassing the capabilities of the standard Windows Console Host to provide 256 and 24-bit color[discuss] in Windows.

The program has a large range of customization, including custom color palettes for the standard 16 colors, hotkeys, transparency, an auto-hideable mode (similar to the way Quake originally displayed its developer console).
Initially, the program was created as a companion to Far Manager,[4] bringing some features common for graphical file managers to this console application (thumbnails and tiles, drag and drop with other windows,[5] true color interface, and others). As of 2012, ConEmu could be used with any other Win32 console application or simple GUI tool (such as Notepad, PuTTY or DOSBox).[4][5][6][7] ConEmu doesn't provide any shell itself, but rather allows using any other shell.[4] It does provide a limited macro language,[8] to control the hosted applications startup.
