Fluentterminal: How to integrate with cmder?

[sixtar]

This app is perfect,but I'm used to cmder(using linux style commands in cmd).How can I put them together?

[kamenminkov]

I was wondering the same thing. With a little trial and error, I came up with the following:

@echo off
title fterm
cmd /k C:\cmder\vendor\init.bat

... in a batch file. Then, from FT, point to that batch file instead of directly to cmder's init.bat:

Doesn't matter where you place it, seems like the path to init.bat has to be absolute.
I don't know why pointing directly to init.bat doesn't work, but here we are. The thing I can't figure out myself is why passing the current directory (i.e. from Explorer) doesn't work, but this seems like a more general issue. The "Open in current directory" bug is mentioned in this commit and although I haven't managed to make a build myself, applying the changes there directly to the registry has worked for me for the explorer integration.

It works.Ths,Minkov.
BTW,for chinese and other none-english users,ls command can't show correct (chinese) characters,just add setting like below to {cmder directory}\vendorinit.bat file's correct position:

set "LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8"

@kamenminkov You actually don't need the fluentterminal.bat part,
instead you should just use the following settings:

• Name: Cmder
• Shell executable location: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
• Arguments:
  batch /k title Cmder & %CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\init.bat
  This process has also been documented at Cmder's wiki:

That guide works like a charm 👌 I guess with that solution the issue can be closed @felixse? Perhaps it is an idea to put this (and other questions such as #146) in a FAQ somewhere?

Nice guide 👍
Yeah, I think we should start a wiki. We could also move the build instructions in readme.md to make it less intimidating

Seems like a great idea.

I created a FAQ page
The wiki is open for contribution by everyone, let's see how that works out 😅
