help ConEmu FAQ

What makes ConEmu different from the standard Windows console?

ConEmu places multiple console sessions and supported GUI console applications inside one customizable window. Its tab bar can handle up to 30 consoles, which is useful for keeping Command Prompt, PowerShell, and remote tools together. [ConEmu tab documentation](https://conemu.github.io/en/TabBar.html)

Can ConEmu run PowerShell, Command Prompt, and Unix-like shells?

Yes. It can host native Windows consoles and tools such as cmd.exe and PowerShell, as well as environments such as Cygwin, MSYS, and WSL when they are installed separately.

Does ConEmu support ANSI colors?

ConEmu supports ANSI and Xterm-style terminal behavior, including 256-color output. That helps console programs display colored logs and interfaces that would otherwise be limited by the older Windows console host. [ConEmu overview](https://conemu.github.io/index.html)

Can ConEmu show PuTTY or Far Manager in tabs?

Yes. Its tab system can frame console applications, PuTTY windows, and Far Manager panels, editors, and viewers. The application is primarily a Windows console host and organizer, rather than a standalone SSH server.
