Reimagining the Windows Command Line
As of today, the prototype of Wish is available for download.
If you are unfamiliar with Wish or would like an overview of the features, please see our Kickstarter project for a description and a video demonstration. Wish is the ultimate command line experience for Windows; featuring tabs, panes, syntax highlighting and improved tab completion.
Many features are currently exposed by right clicking the user interface (or using the key bindings revealed in the right-click context menu).
This is only a prototype, so you’ll have to be a little forgiving of the quality and limited features, but this should provide a good introduction and feel for the vision.
Things that Work (mostly)
- Wish’s popup based tab completion
- Powershell engine (limited)
- cmd engine (limited)
- Ctrl + R for command history searching
- up/down arrow command history
- Ctrl + D for recent directory searching
- Ctrl + A for recent argument searching
- Tabs/Panes
Things that Don’t Work
- Most features are incomplete
- Git Bash support
- Visual Studio Command Prompt support
- No settings or customization available
Let me know what you think. If you like it, don’t forget to pledge!
