Happy ConEmu plus clink user for at least a year, I suspect more, but I don't keep track, I just move on.

Hmm, just installed clink 0.4.7 (with autorun disabled for now). "clink autorun --help" consistently crashes. But at least it hasn't taken down the console yet, so I guess I'll try it out for some time. It's really a nice concept.
mmmrrrm, don't know, don't remember. I do know that when I start ConEmu, I have to ctrl-alt-J to get command line features. So maybe I had trouble with autorun too? Don't remember.

wow64 : "C:\Program Files (x86)\clink\0.4.4\clink" inject --profile "~\clink"I've tried one or both earlier. Didn't quite get what the difference is. (Maybe did not check well enough at the time.) Are they related tools, or is one a substitute for the other?
