| This HowTo documents how to integrate Geany with [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/|Console]] using [[http://www.autohotkey.com/|AutoHotKey]] in Windows.

Console is a tabbed wrapper for terminal-like programs in windows, and can be used as a shell to run anything from cmd.exe, python, rterm, etc. to Midnight Commander. AutoHotKey is a scripting language and interpreter that specializes in process management and keyboard shortcuts.\\ | This HowTo documents how to integrate Geany with [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/|Console]] using [[http://www.autohotkey.com/|AutoHotKey]] in Windows.
