TLDR:
I want to use something like -new_console:t:tabname to open a new named tab in cmder and then transfer focus/control to that tab so that the rest of the commands I'm sending from a Python script run in that console instead. Or, I want to rename a cmder tab from a script running in the console.
DETAILS:
I often have to execute a series of commands in cmder in order to test the latest code from our continuous integration environment. Because there are several applications I often have to have running at a time, it would be helpful for me to have the cmder tabs named according to which application they are running.
The only way I've found to set a tab name from within cmder (apart from manually with mouse clicks) is to do so with the -new_console:t:tab_name command. But that only runs the next command in the newly opened tab, and not all the things that come after it.
I kick off all my commands with a Python script that accepts parameters to let me control which application opens and how things behave. I'd like to do something like this:
os.system('pwd "-new-console:t:' + args.app + '"')
so that a new tab opens with the name of the app I'm about to invoke in it, starting with an indication of the present working directory. But then I'd like all the commands that follow from the Python script to be run in this new tab instead of in the tab used to kick off the Python script. This includes printing some flowerboxed comments, but also invoking a local application server that will continue running.
Is there any way to, as you create a new (named) tab in cmder, transfer focus to that tab so that all future commands run in that tab instead of the initiating tab? Alternately, is there any way from within a cmder console to rename the cmder tab it's running in? That would be just as good.
Thanks!
Thanks for looking, but I found the answer.
In the bottom right corner is a hamburger stack. Click on that and select Settings. In General --> Tab bar, change the Console setting from the default %n to %s. Then the "title" command will change the tab name.

GNU Octave, Version 6.1.0, using the GUI:
Is there a way to clear all variables that are listed in the work environment without restarting Octave and without clicking and clearing every single variable?
This is needed for a cold start when switching to a new task, when you still want to keep opened the already opened files.
Taken from the helpful comments, here are the ways to choose from:
Type "clear" in the editor.
Edit->Clear Workspace in the menu.
Not recommended of course, but possible: you could also just close the GUI and open it again. Then, you should at best use the setting to re-open tabs from the previous session when you close the GUI and open it again. See Edit -> Preferences -> Editor -> File-Handling -> Restore Editor Tabs from previous session on startup or when editor is shown again after closing
I'm using a PHP script which expects user input from a command like fgets(STDIN). The problem is it no longer works in the newest version of PHPStorm (10).
The same works when I run it directly (without debugger enabled) and anything I enter in the console is sent to the script (on direct run).
But during a debug session, when I try to input text at the script's prompt, it does not go to the script. My best guess is that the new REPL feature is overriding user input in console during debugging. I say this because pressing the UP/DOWN arrows opens up a popup with all PHP function names.
It used to work correctly with last version.
How can I send user input to my PHP script with this new version? Am I missing something here?
I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but I was running into this same problem, and I was able to get it working by deselecting the "Use Console Input" checkbox in the PHPStorm Console.
John's answer is perfect.
I want to mention that the Use Console Input is a tiny icon in sidebar of the debug console. I provide you by this image
I'm running Windows 8. I have a file named "test.tcl".
If I open a shell, type "wish", then 2 windows open. In one of them, I can type Tcl code and open the file test.tcl. If I open this file, its code is executed.
If I double click on test.tcl to open the file with "Wish Application", then 1 blank window open, and nothing happens.
Do you know why please?
On Windows, Wish is built as a GUI-only application; it has no real standard output available. Tk fakes one for you though; just put this in your script to show the fake console:
console show
The fake console shows up by default when you launch without a script file, but launching with a script file doesn't show it (so your script file can implement an application, of course).
This can catch people out when they produce a lot of output on stdout. Tk may well be keeping it all faithfully just in case the code does console show later on, though it looks and smells a lot like a memory leak if you're not prepared for it…
When I'm writing code in sublime text, I have the ability to create "snippets" that I can "tabtrigger" into my code.
For example, If I'm writing some js code and I want to log something to the console, I created a snippet so that all I have to do is type "log" and hit tab. As soon as I hit tab console.log(); is inserted into my code. Google seems to have a different definition of snippets, and I was wondering if the described functionality is available when writing code directly in the dev tools source panel?
I did not find this Tab trigger ability in Chrome but a way to simmulate this operation:
Using AutoHotKey
Run it after installing , and right click AutoHotKey in the taskbar corner -> Edit This Script
Add the following to the script files.
#IfWinActive Developer Tools -
::ml::
SendInput {Raw}margin-left:10px;
return
write your own script like above, then save it and Reload This Script
Have fun!
More to say:
#IfWinActive means this part only applies to the current window whose name started with Developer Tools - .So if you want this script work, you shoul make the develop window seperated from the main Chrome window to have this window name.
::ml:: defines the keys to trigger, the starting :: means this is a word , which can only trigger when it is followed by a space key or an enter key or a tab key a semicolon key and so on. Otherwise it will soon output margin-left:10px; once you typed ml .
SendInput with {Raw} can avoid triggerring endless loop. eg. bb -> border-bottom:1px solid #bbb; the output is ended with bb; and AutoHotKey will auto minimize the current window to avoid endless loop.
I've just created a console application. If I run it from the command line, no problem - I can see my output. But if I run from within MonoDevelop, no application output window appears.
I restarted MonoDevelop and that had no effect.
Any suggestions?
And the answer is somewhat illogical (hence why multiple people have this question).
In the Options for the project, on the Run tab, there is a checkbox for "Run on external console." If this option is cleared, the Application Output window will come back when you run the project, and will the become available from the View -> Pads submenu.
