Build 140505

  • Limited logging of console contents.
    • Option ‘Inject ConEmuHk’ must be enabled to get that feature!
    • Only ‘Standard output’ will be logged (the same activity as processed with ‘ANSI X3.64’ processor). So, certain Windows console API functions will not be logged (Far Manager panels, for example).
    • You may choose folder for storing log-files, default is "%ConEmuDir%\Logs\".
    • Note! Default folder may be write-protected, if you've installed ConEmu to "Program Files". So, you may need to choose write-enabled folder.
    • Each console will share its own log-file, example: "ConEmu-YYYY-MM-DD-pPID.log".
    • So, if several processes will write to console output simultaneously, you may get unpredictable result in your log-file.
    • By default, logging is disabled.
  • ANSI. Fix ‘no-color’ on new line.
  • ANSI. Fix ‘bad color cell’ on EOL.
  • ANSI. Do not break "\r\n" in two physical writes.

  • Issue 1516: ConEmu fails to duplicate root when cmd.exe was catched as ‘Default terminal’.

Build 140422

  • GuiMacro. Sleep(Milliseconds). Because it is processed inside GUI process, Milliseconds are limited to 10000 (10 sec) max.
  • GuiMacro. Break() for Ctrl+C and Break(1) for Ctrl+Break. However, these function may fails in some cases (in RealConsole for example). Also, they are processed by Windows asynchronously, so you may need to Sleep(ms) after them if your want to print("something") to console after.
  • Clipboard use optimization - RClick Paste may fails sometimes.
  • Fix hyperlinks underlining errors (c31f3cb regression).

Build 140416

But user can use GuiMacro to open About or Settings dialogs. Moreover, if you need to open dialogs with special page activated (if you need some page often).
  • Add ConEmuEnvironment#Export_variables link to About dialog (Console tab).
  • Issue 1546 : Mark/copy with mouse appears very slow in some cases.

    powershell -new_console:C:twice.ico
  • Hook mouse_event and SendInput API.

  • New ConEmu.exe switch ‘/FontDir "YourDir"’ allows to register fonts from several specified folders
  • Issue 1258 : Ctrl+BackSpace delete words to the left including spaces.
  • Actually, not only spaces are taken to account: ‘>])}$.,/\"’.
  • About dialog -new_console fixes.
  • No need to unset hooks if our process is to be force killed by TerminateProcess (minor speed up).
  • Issue 1512 : Warn on invalid prefix-switch in task command. Valid switches currently are
  • /bufferheight <lines>
    /dir <workingdir>
    /icon <tabicon>
    /tab <tabtitle>
  • Warn on invalid switches in task parameters. Valid switches currently are

    • Windows2k, WindowsXP - all processes

  • Vim xterm arrow key lags happen sometimes. When Vim was switched to xterm mode, ConEmu sends corresponding xterm ESC-sequences instead of simple VK_xxx keypresses. Sometimes Vim don't catch whole sequence before any other event occures. For example, you press Right arrow and Vim does nothing before you just move mouse over console.

  • More logging of Mouse Wheel events
  • Wheel over inactive mintty pane unexpectedly scrolls active pane below too.

Build 140227

  • Don't unlock working directory until ConEmu initialization finished. So, behavior of "-loadcfgfile" and "-savecfgfile" changed. If you specify xml file without path, if will be searched in the working (ConEmu.exe startup) directory, but not in the ConEmu.exe folder.

Build 140225

Build 140202

  • New ‘Intelligent selection’ mode.
    • Now, you may start both block or text selection with mouse without modifier pressed.

    • New mode may be disabled ‘totally’ or for specified processes only. For example, Vim knows about text selection and can process mouse internally, and Far Manager can use mouse for dragging files or text selection in Editors.
