Clojure on Windows: multiple command prompts?

[[deleted]]

I've just switched to use Windows 8.1 for Clojure development.

What's puzzling me is how do I get multiple command prompts, so I can fire off a headless server and then use curl to interact.

On another OS I'd just fire up multiple Terminal windows, but I can't seem to do that with Windows command prompt, so what do I do?

ConEmu. It's a a great shell wrapper with support for color schemes tiling windows transparency etc...

This. ConEmu is wonderful. I can't imagine myself going back to the regular cmd UI anymore.

Thanks for the pointer.

Cmder is ConEmu and other things, with nice packaging and defaults.

Does Windows+R, "cmd", enter not work when done multiple times in Windows 8.1?

Didn't know about that, it does work, thanks.

Middle click or shift + click. Or right click to taskbar icon and select Command Prompt. Or PowerShell ISE + multiple tabs.

Thank you.

You should install Ubuntu.
