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.
