Auto attach new consoles to conemu

conemuconsole

I want that when a console is openning ConEmu will automagically detect the console (for example – by executable path) and attach it in a new tab.

for example, a console of an application I'm developing therefore anytime I start it in debug mode a console is open – I want the ConEmu to detect that and attach it.

Is this possibe?
How?

Thanks!!!

this can help, especially if consoles are opened through cmd.exe:

ConEmu – Attach Running Console Application to New Instance

Try the following

#IfWinActive, ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass
#a::
  WinGet, app_pid, PID
  Run c:\opt\ConEmu-120704\ConEmu\ConEmuC.exe /ATTACH /CONPID=%app_pid%
  Return

Alternative mode: /ATTACH /CONPID=<pid>.

Starting ConEmu.exe /detached is unnecessary. GUI will be started automatically, if not found.

UPD. Build 120705. If you want to unconditionally start new ConEmu window, you may add /GHWND=NEW to ConEmuC arguments.

UPD 2. On the other hand, may be you do not need to do Attach at all? There is Default terminal feature which allows you to run ConEmu automatically "instead" of standard windows terminal when you run any console application.

Windows, Console, ConEmu – How to Duplicate Session in ConEmu

Variant 1

Type in existing cmd prompt

cmd -new_console

and press Enter. Also you may create hotkey/macro for this sequence, for example AppsN -->

print("cmd -new_console\n")

or create cmd-file or doskey alias.

Variant 2

Use menu item Duplicate root.... It will make a copy of your most parent (root) shell of the current tab (where you are calling menu item). Also you may disable duplicate confirmation in the Settings \ Confirmation.

Variant 3

With latest versions (from 140818) you also may use %CD% environment variable within Shell() GuiMacro function. How to set up your shell described here.

Shell("", "cmd", "", "%CD%")
