Hi,

I just want to thank the team of Console regarding the ConPTY API ! It's great! 👍

After upgrade today to Win10 v.1809 and install the "optional" OpenSSH-Server (you need to manually set to "Automatic Start" for the Service), you can remotely use ANY Linux & Windows console tool with full support over SSH.

For example, after connecting to my Win10 desktop computer from my notebook using PuTTY, I do:

C:\> wsl

$ tmux

And now I can start console Linux Apps (for example the good known midnight commander mc) and Windows Apps (for example the too good Far Commander far.exe). Even in a TMUX split screen and with a full window resize !!! 😮

Thanks a lot!
