Tool like screen/tmux for Windows/DOS console?

1 pointvram224 comments

Is there anything like screen or tmux (that exist on Linux), but for Windows, for the DOS console? I work on Windows at times and would like to have such a tool to avoid having to open multiple DOS consoles so I don't have to Alt-Tab between them. Don't want to install Cygwin. Thanks.

No elegant solutions, but give this a try: https://github.com/bliker/cmder

I think I have tried it or one of the derived / related tools earlier, and may have had some issues with it (maybe minor), but will try it again - thank you.

P.S. I don't remember if it tried its tmux-like feature (multiple virtual consoles without opening separate Windows GUI windows - if it has that feature), but will check for that.

Just started trying it. It does have multiple virtual consoles within one window. Also many other features, which I'll check out over time. Great!
