console VS extraterm

Use console wrapper that can save last position (e.g. https://github.com/cbucher/console), then create an alias for cmd.exe to it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths.

ConsoleZ, similar to ConEMU, but IMHO lighter with many similar features

reminds me of this badass feature of my favorite terminal

ConsoleZ - Modified version of Console 2 for a better experience and a better visual rendering.

TermKit was one of the inspirations for Extraterm ( https://extraterm.org/ ). It separates command output, allows for reuse of previous output, as well mixing content types.

The terminal VSCode has been picking up on these kinds of features lately. Now they can even "sticky" the previous command line at the top of the window when scrolling through long output.

It has taken a long time, but these ideas are slowing spreading around.

Extraterm is very similar in style to what you are asking. I recommend the Qt version.

iTerm2 is a great piece of software. It is probably the best "featureful" terminal on any platform. It is also an influence on my terminal project which also has a "features are good" philosophy but isn't limited to macOS. (https://extraterm.org/ , the website needs an update. It doesn't show latest state of the Qt version.)

Windows Terminal, Tabby, ExtraTerm

My terminal, Extraterm used to have some direct text editing in older versions before changed the whole UI to use Qt and generally be much much faster.

May I plug my terminal Extraterm . :-)

The next Qt version of Extraterm (https://extraterm.org/) will have a command to copy the contents of the scrollback and/or a command output if you are using shell integration, to the clipboard.

Extraterm, because having features in a terminal emulator is a feature, and an emulator doesn't have to look like a fork of the ancient (and spartan) xterm.
