[Feature request] Allow terminal to accept and run commands before cmder is fully loaded about cmder

[chrisant996]

The suggestion is impossible, for many reasons.

One is that you're asking for CMD.exe to show a prompt and accept input and run commands, while also simultaneously running a batch script that takes a long time to run. The only way to do that would be to modify CMD.exe itself, which cannot happen.

it would be nice for the terminal to accept input immediately and execute them in an underlying cmd prompt (or something of that nature) while cmder is still loading

"The terminal" doesn't accept input.
CMD.exe is what accepts input.
I.e. the suggestion expects that accepting input and running scripts are done by two different separate things -- but only one thing is responsible for doing both of those, and it's CMD.exe.

"While cmder is loading" refers to CMD.exe running the script that initializes the cmder experience inside the CMD.exe shell.

So, you're asking for CMD.exe to accept input simultaneously while it also runs a script. CMD.exe cannot do that.

Oh okay gotcha. Oh well, it was worth a shot!

I think you can get unreleased builds here: https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/actions/runs/6983567438

This should start much faster.

This can be closed. As a feature request, it's impossible for the reasons described further above..
