Wow, what's next, ability to shift-ctrl+c & shift-ctrl+v text in the console just by default?

Thanks, that actually looks really good. No-fuss copy and paste, auto resizing windows, transparency, etc. All they needed to do was clone how terminals such as Ubuntu's does it ... and it looks like that's what they did. :) I've been waiting for this for quite some time.

2015. The year of the Windows command line :)

You mean that right click on the window chrome then select 'mark' then select text then right click window again and then choose 'copy' isn't a good user interface?

No, it's crap, so the only people that do that are beginners, command line tourists, or people using one of the very small number of console programs that support the mouse. Regular console users use the QuickEdit mode: left click to enter select mode, drag box - or double click to select a space-or-line-end-delimited region. Then press return to copy or esc to cancel. Then right click to paste. Squint hard enough, and it's almost like using xterm!

(Bonus feature: you can halt unexpected TTY spew by clicking in the window, giving you a chance to examine it.)

QuickEdit still doesn't fix the box select thing (at least not pre-Windows 10) but it's a massive improvement nonetheless.

Now tell me the shortcut for scrolling without a mouse. Quickly.

Try ConEmu.

It's a real windows window, not that stupid /subsystem=console window.

Thanks, this actually looks really good! I've tried a few of the others but never found any to my liking. Appreciate that, cheers.

But I'm sure that there is nothing like tmux on Windows 10. Perhaps in another 10 years?
