Cmder

cmder is the closest that I have come to using tmux natively on windows, and that makes me very happy.

• tmux-style panes
• unix-style tab completion
• tabs
• colours
• colourschemes

Locations

cmd rcfile

C:\Tools\cmder\config\user_profile.cmd

Configuration

set environment vars

REM C:\Tools\cmder\config\user_profile.cmd

set VAR=blah

disable git prompt

C:/tools/cmder/vender/clink.lua

# remove {git}{hg} from local cmder_prompt
local cmder_prompt = "\x1b[1;32;40m{cwd}\n\x1b[1;30;40m{lamb} \x1b[0m"

# comment out the clink hooks
--clink.prompt.register_filter(hg_prompt_filter, 50)
--clink.prompt.register_filter(git_prompt_filter, 50)
