ConEmu is a powerful and customizable Windows console emulator that provides an alternative to the standard command prompt. It allows users to run console programs in a hidden console window and provides a feature-rich GUI window with various customization options.

One of the standout features of ConEmu is its smooth and friendly window resizing capabilities. Users can easily adjust the size of the window to fit their needs and preferences. Additionally, ConEmu offers tabs for editors, viewers, panels, and consoles, making it easy to switch between different programs and tasks. This is particularly useful for those who frequently use multiple console applications at once.

Another great feature of ConEmu is the ability to run simple GUI apps like PuTTY in tabs. This allows users to easily switch between different sessions and manage their connections more efficiently. Additionally, ConEmu supports Windows 7 Jump Lists and Progress on Taskbar buttons, making it easy to keep track of running tasks and quickly access frequently used programs.

ConEmu also provides support for running older DOS applications in Windows 7 or 64-bit OS, which is particularly useful for those who still use legacy software or games. Additionally, it supports thumbnails and tiles in Far Manager, normal, maximized, and full screen graphical window modes, and different anti-aliasing options for the window font.

ConEmu also provides support for different languages, including Chinese versions of Windows and allows using normal/bold/italic fonts for different parts of the console simultaneously. It also provides support for ANSI X3.64 and Xterm 256 colors, cursor: standard console (horizontal) or GUI (vertical) and optional per-application settings.

The software also allows vertical console buffer scrolling using the keyboard (BufferHeight mode) and show full output (1K+ lines) of last command in Far Manager's editor/viewer. Additionally, it allows customizable Far Manager right-click behavior and drag and drop (explorer-style) of files and folders in Far Manager.

All settings are read from the registry or ConEmu.xml file, and multiple named configurations are supported. ConEmu also allows customizable starting tabs, configurable and clickable status bar and more.

In terms of requirements, ConEmu requires Windows XP or later for 32-bit and Windows Vista or later for 64-bit. Installation is straightforward, just unpack or install to any folder and run ConEmu.exe.

Overall, ConEmu is a powerful and feature-rich console emulator that provides a great alternative to the standard command prompt. Its customizable options and tabs make it easy to manage multiple console applications and improve productivity. It's a must-have for any windows user who frequently uses console applications.
