Win32 Command Line Tabifier with Support – Detailed Guide

command linetabs

I use an editor that allows me to type in a command to run. In order to see the output without having to redirect it to a file, I precede the command with "cmd /k," which leaves an open cmd.exe window. So I'd like to find a way to catch the call to cmd.exe and pass it onto an application that tabifies cmd.exe, a terminal emulator as it's called. The desired result would be similar to what happens in a tabbed editor, when that editor is to open some file, it does so in another tab, and not in another window. While in a given situation it may be easier to modify the command to redirect output to display in the editor itself, in general it would be more helpful if I could find a way to catch all such calls into one window.

I suggest leaving cmd for PowerShell. And PowerShell ISE (integrated scripting environment) which supports tabs, each of which can hold multiple files being editted) and includes a debugger.
