For some reason the Windows command prompt is ‘special’ in that you have to go to a properties dialog to resize it horizontally rather than just dragging the corner of the window like every other app. Unsurprisingly this feature made it into P-P-P-Powershell as well — is there any way around this via command prompt replacement or Windows hackery?

  1. 2019 Update:

    • Microsoft has released the terminal app on Github & the Windows Store, and it has tabs, panels, acrylic transparency, and other features.

    2016 Update:

    • Windows 10’s default conhost UI has more features, including free resize, transparency, etc (this includes cmd & powershell)
    • I now use ConEmu (walkthrough here) which has many features including tabs & split panes.
    • Other options include Cmder (which comes with additional tools built in), and ConsoleZ (a fork of Console2).
    • Console appears to no longer be updated
