ConEmu – How to Call MSYS2 as Tab

conemutasks

I want to create a 2×2 grid of console, and I want it to be my default setting, meaning when I open ConEmu, this setting to be the startup setting. I have written a task like below:

>* cmd -cur_console:n

*powershell -cur_console:s1TVn

cmd /A /Q /K "C:\dev\msys64\msys2_shell.bat" -cur_console:s1THn

ghci.exe -cur_console:s2THn

The problem is with the last command. I want to start msys2, but when I run my task, for the third line, I get a console, but it doesn't run inside the ConEmu, it opens it as a separate window. How can I fix this configuration?

Also, how can I set this configuration as the default one when I start ConEmu, while now when I start it, I only get a single cmd console.

Look inside msys2_shell.bat to get the answer. This batch runs mintty instead of bash shell. Useless. Change third line to full path to bash.exe -l -i.

how can I set this configuration as the default one when I start ConEmu

There is "Startup" settings page in ConEmu, isn't it?

This is your task contents. Checked in ConEmu build 120909.

>cmd -cur_console:n
cmd -cur_console:s1TVn
cmd -cur_console:s1THn
cmd -cur_console:s2THn

This is an example. Splitting in ConEmu may be as complex as you want, any configurations with any proportions are possible. Read project wiki for more information about -new_console and -cur_console switches.

To run all that without creating new Task

There is /cmdlist ConEmu.exe's switch.

Usage example for shortcut contents (on desktop, for example):

ConEmu -cmdlist cmd -cur_console:fn ||| cmd -cur_console:s1TVn ||| cmd -cur_console:s1THn ||| cmd -cur_console:s2THn

Need to run that from another cmd file? Here is consoles.cmd example:

start ConEmu -cmdlist cmd -cur_console:fn ^|^|^| cmd -cur_console:s1TVn ^|^|^| cmd -cur_console:s1THn ^|^|^| cmd -cur_console:s2THn

Windows – ConEmu select startup console

There is Startup settings page where user can choose one of the named Tasks (many shells are predefined already) or choose particular startup command line.

And of course, user can define his own Tasks or reorder existing.
