command prompt

[techbuddy]

Is there any way, that the command prompt is built in the total commander. I mean, that one of the tabs acts as a command prompt. So, everytime I open total commander, the command prompt is always available and I do not ahve to run it always using cmd.exe.

I would just create a button launching the Command Prompt, when needed.

TLis,
Menu 'Commands - Open command prompt' does the same. People simply assign a hotkey like Ctrl+O and use it.

But TC itself have no embedded console since it is a GUI application.

MVV : Is there any which you know which has an embedded console because I am mostly doing things on the console than with the mouse ? I guess xplorer Lite? I know that it is not the correct forum but I guess, there are experts here who can help.

I'm using TC only, no other managers. I often execute commands directly from TC command line, sometimes using Shift+Enter (it executes command in a console window), sometimes from console window that I open from TC (I have commands to open usual console and elevated one).

I used from time to time total console but i suspect it is not running well anymore.
I'm also a keyboard/console addicted i very often open console from command line using an alias and a HotKey. I also have some scripts that switch current console folder to TC Source/target tab and change TC to current console folder. In most of my case The console complement the two TC visible tab and i put the console at bottom or on secondary screen. I sometime miss an embedded console but this should be in a dedicated layout TC is not providing...

There are two console plugins:

Did you try any of them?

Yes, I know, but it would not launch the command prompt elevated, which I need sometimes. I have an em_* command defined doing this and a button.

I created tiny batch file su.bat in Windows dir:

Code: Select all

@echo off
start "" "%SystemRoot%\sudo.exe" "%SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe" /k cd /d "%cd%"

And when I need elevation, I type su in opened console and press Enter. It opens another console with same working folder.
