Tired of having to right click and go to properties and enable quick edit. Is there a command I can run? a reg key I can modify from the cmd? Windows 10

  • In order to get to CMD properties in windows you have to open CMD and right click on the bar at the top of the window. Sep 19, 2019 at 14:33
  • The setting should stick all by itself if you go to the cmd properties dialog. You shouldn't need a registry hack. I just tested this myself and it sticks to whatever I last left it at. Sep 19, 2019 at 14:55

There is a regkey in:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console

There should be (or create it) a value QuickEdit of type DWORD, you can set it to 1.

Already answered here, update "QuickMode" setting in Windows Registry:

reg add HKCU\Console /v QuickEdit /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

However it will not affect currently opened window. But you can reopen a window:

:: Get QuickEdit Mode setting from Windows Registry
FOR /F "usebackq tokens=3*" %%A IN (`REG QUERY "HKCU\Console" /v QuickEdit`) DO (
  set quickEditSetting=%%A %%B
)

if %quickEditSetting%==0x1 (
  :: Disable QuickEdit Mode
  reg add HKCU\Console /v QuickEdit /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

  :: Open script in a new Command Prompt window
  start "" "%~dpnx0" %* && exit
)

... script logic here ...
exit
