# Cmder



Latest release is **[v1.1.4.1](https://github.com/bliker/cmder/releases/tag/v1.1.4.1)**



Cmder is a **software package** created out of pure frustration over absence of usable console emulator on Windows. It is based on [ConEmu](https://code.google.com/p/conemu-maximus5/) with *major* config overhaul. Monokai color scheme, amazing [clink](https://github.com/mridgers/clink) and custom prompt layout.

## Why use it



The main advantage of Cmder is portability. It is designed to be totally self-contained with no external dependencies, that is makes it great for **USB Sticks** or **Dropbox**. So you can carry your console, aliases and binaries (like wget, curl and git) with you anywhere.



## Installation



1. Download the latest release

1. Extract

1. (optional) Place files into `bin` folder, it will be injected into your PATH.

1. Run cmder



*(There will be a version with installer)*



## Integration



So you've experimented with cmder a little and want to give it a shot in a more permanent home;



### Shortcut to open Cmder in a chosen folder



1. Open a terminal as an Administrator

1. Navigate to the directory you have placed Cmder

1. Execute `.\cmder.exe /REGISTER ALL`*



In a file explorer window right click in or on a directory to see "Cmder Here" in the context menu.



*If you get a message "Access Denied" ensure you are executing the command in an Administrator prompt.



## Keyboard shortcuts



### Tab manipulation



* `Ctrl + t` : new tab dialog (maybe you want to open cmd as admin?)

* `Ctrl + w` : close tab

* `Ctrl + d` : close tab (if pressed on empty command)

* `Shift + alt + number` : fast new tab: `1` - CMD, `2` - Powershell `*` - More to come

* `Alt + enter`: Fullscreen



### Shell



* `Shift + Up` : Traverse up in directory structure (lovely feature!)

* `End, Home, Ctrl` : Traversing text with as usual on Windows

* `Ctrl + r` : History search

* `Shift + mouse` : Select and copy text from buffer



(Some shortcuts are not yet documented, thought they exist, please add them here)



## Features



### Aliases

You can define simple aliases with command `alias name=command`.



For example there is one defined for you `alias e.=explorer .`



All aliases will be saved in `/config/aliases` file



## Todo



1. Complete PowerShell compatibility.

2. Workaround git.exe overload after msysgit download (Granted this is an upstream issue).

3. Redo Build/Pack scripts or remove them altogether.

4. Git Bash

5. Check for clink and git before injecting them
