Can you run things like nano & stop and navigate around with arrow keys?

Haven't tried that specifically but I've used tmux and vi quite successfully, including mouse support.

As long as you start ConEmu with "-run {bash}", everything works very well, yes.

Thanks, I had trouble with arrow keys working when I tried it a while back but I'll give it another go with the "-run {bash}" option. And the Mac autocorrected "htop" to stop.

I had to test a couple of variations before being happy because the same colors are used in all types of terminal (I use regular cmd and Bash). Sometimes one color is great in one type of terminal but is clashing with another color, for a particular use case, in the other terminal!

(By the way, there is a color picker when you click a color)

Fortunately there is an "app distinct" option in the settings. You can pick different color profiles for different programs.
