Cmder: No list of command-line options?

[haunma]

I hate to post such a dumb question as an "issue" but this is the only place I could find to potentially get some help. I am trying to launch a cmder instance to act as a git bash prompt. I know what I need to run, and it works fine if I type it in manually after starting cmder, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out any way to supply a command+args on the cmder command line. No matter what I try, all I get is an error dialog which says:

Cmder Launcher: Unrecognized parameter. Valid options: /START /REGISTER /UNREGISTER

The main page suggests looking at the Conemu docs, but I cannot find a way to use any of the Conemu command-line switches on the cmder command line. What am I missing?

(Before someone suggests it, I know there are ways to make cmder always run certain commands at startup. I don't want that. I want to create a desktop shortcut for git bash, another for windows command prompt, another for ssh, and so on.)

Unfortunately, they are hard-coded in launcher, I don't see any way to provide command-line argument for ConEmu process. This is sad, I want to customize something...

Basically, I want /title parameter to be exposed, I want to name it something like "Terminal" and icon from mintty :)

Well that is disheartening, for a tool that aims to be the ultimate _command line_ window :(

I agree, ConEmu has so many powerful command line arguments, for them to not be able to be passed in is a huge letdown.

Soon :tm:

I would like to see this implemented as well, shame it's not supported yet - shouldn't be too complicated.

It'd be nice if GitHub had a feature request thing, because those AREN'T really "issues," and users could vote on them.

[olsonpm]

@Muzical84 - Most collaborators use the label feature to tag relevant issues as feature requests. Users typically 'vote' on them by commenting.

I hope to choose which task to open for the given directory. I can use ConEmu with arguments to achieve that, but it seems if I use ConEmu arguments for the default {PowerShell} task it just ignores the directory path argument. Hence I think it should be safer to open it with cmder.

This would be useful so that commands could be typed directly from a launcher such as Launchy, like illustrated below (obviously, this doesn't actually work right now):

This works in my launchy setup. The auto.bat file is indexed with the default launchy mechanisms. The cmder.bat is located next to cmder.exe

auto.bat:
@echo off
C:\apps\cmder\cmder.bat "d:\vls-trunk\env-win64\python27\python.exe -m auto.cli %*"

cmder.bat:
@echo off
set CMDER_ROOT=%~dp0
start %CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\conemu-maximus5\ConEmu.exe /icon "%CMDER_ROOT%\cmder.exe" /single /title Cmder /loadcfgfile "%CMDER_ROOT%\config\ConEmu.xml" /cmd cmd /k "%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\init.bat cd %CD% && %~1"

[otravers]

Hi thecere, thanks for this but this returns "python/No module named auto". I just installed Python and there's no auto.cli.

[thecere]

Hi otravers, forget the python specifics. The stuff in auto.bat is only an example for passing params around.

This one gives me the docker help if called with via launchy "auto > --help"
C:\apps\cmder\Cmder.bat "docker %*"

[otravers]

Thanks a lot for clarifying, as you've seen I'm easily confused. I've created cli.bat with:

@echo off
C:\Users\Olivier\OneDrive\PortableApps\Cmder\cmder.bat "%*"

Now I can do _cli > whatever_ in Launchy, and _whatever_ gets executed in by _cmd.exe_ within Cmder, which is exactly what I was asking for. Thanks again!
