ConEmu new tab instead of split

2

Is there a way to disable console splitting in ConEmu?

Let's say I'm in ConEmu window. I do some stuff and decide to open another cmd tab.

I input cmd inside current ConEmu window, click enter and new cmd is shown in the same tab as split. I've come across -new_console switch and that's kinda OK, yet still not good.

If I input cmd -new_console inside current ConEmu window, it opens in new tab (without split). If I, however, input csudo cmd -new_console inside current ConEmu window, it still opens as split in the same screen.

So the question is - is there a way to disable splitting without any additional text?

ConEmu build 140819 (64-bit).

What I want to write: cmd

Expected result: ConEmu opens completely separate tab without any splits.

EDIT: I'm now not able to reproduce cmd splitting - now it opens in the same tab without splitting as is expected behaviour of application (noted by Maximus).

But question remains the same anyway. If with cmd I can't open a new tab - what about csudo or csudo cmd? They too open as splits.

What you write? Where you write? What version is used? Nothing is clear from you question actually. – Maximus – 2014-09-24T07:48:19.480

Erm... Edited, added version and added more info + formatting. Couldn't think of anything more, because that's all the info and should be clear. – YOhan – 2014-09-24T08:02:18.287

I input cmd inside current ConEmu window, click enter and new cmd is shown in the same tab as split.

But the expected behavior is "second cmd.exe process started in the same tab without splitting". So, you need to find what you have changed in your system. Either Autorun value in the registry Software\Microsoft\Command Processor (HKLM/HKCU), or some alias for cmd, or even any batch file, or something else...

You may run Process Monitor to find what is really executed.

csudo

csudo is expected to open splits. Change the file csudo.cmd to change beanie. Thinking it is better to rename your version to avoid changes lost after updating.

Sorry, I can't really reproduce that simple cmd split. Don't know why, it just came back to expected behaviour. Updated the question - maybe there is an answer to that? – YOhan – 2014-09-24T08:20:02.347

Csudo commented. – Maximus – 2014-09-24T11:52:29.597

Thank you! I've already been using renamed version to sudo to match Linux. Now changed to not use split - works like I want it. – YOhan – 2014-09-24T12:20:28.800
