Start cmder with taskfile and 2 terminals open in split screen

Question

I have an angular project and a java project and I would like to have a script for cmder that starts both of them in their specific directory in split window view so I can see both their logs.

Like this:

I know I can create a task file but I don't know how to configure it to create 2 (or more) terminals in split window view

EDIT:

I would like to elaborate more on my question. I want with 1 script/command/configuration(?) to do the following thing:

1. Start cmder
2. on a terminal on top to run ng serve on the specific path that I have my angular application
3. create another terminal on the bottom and on a different path, I want to run mvn spring-boot:run so that I have a cmder environment that looks like in the image I posted

Answer 1

You may setup your configuration and specify to cmder save all tabs and reload them at startup.

Right-click the green icon on the left of the title bar and choose Settings....

In the Settings dialog, click on Startup and then on Auto save/restore opened tabs, and finally on Save settings. Your tab setup should now be saved on exit and restored on startup.

If you are trying to run several commands in two horizontal panes, perhaps it would be simpler to put everything in a task file, using the "Tasks file" option in the Startup section, like this :

-cur_console:d:"C:\Temp":t:Win1 command1
-cur_console:s1T50V:d:"C:\Temp\":t:Win2 command2

The first task starts in the opened console in folder C:\Temp, is named Win1 and runs command1. The second task starts in the opened console in folder C:\Temp, is named Win2 and runs command2. It is added to the first console - s1T - and takes 50 percent of the height vertically (50V).

Answer 2

Even though @harrymc answered the question I want to add the exact solution to my question here:

• Create a file with the following 2 lines (for an explanation for each command look at @harrymc's post above)

  -cur_console:d:"C:\Temp\frontend\":t:frontEnd "ng serve"
-cur_console:s1T50V:d:"C:\Temp\server\":t:server "mvn spring-boot:run"

• Open cmder -> Settings -> Startup -> Tasks File -> (Win+Alt+P) and select the saved file from the previous step.

• Save and restart
