Save log for each open buffer

[DonComo]

It would be really nice if the buffers would be logged to files similarly to how it's done in ConEmu. This way I can have a history of what I've been playing around with. This is immensely useful when I start forgetting how I've done something in the past since I can just grep the log files. #

Can you be more specific on this feature?
I didn't find this feature in ConEmu.

Here it is:

I too am interested in this feature. Simply a log of the entire session written to a file on disk - typically %HOME%/logs/console-<host>-<start-time>-<pid>.log or similar.

It's useful as a way to recover data lost in scrollback (especially considering the absence of an infinite scrollback feature), and also for incident investigation.

Some places (e.g. many financial institutions) have a policy of client-side logging of all server sessions, for legal & compliance reasons.

You cannot redirect output stream and read console buffer in same time.
If you read the output stream, you don't have color indications.

The only solution to workaround this problem is to hook writing functions in each process launched (shell and childs).

I don't like this. (Antiviral softwares don't like this too...)

If you want to redirect stdout to a file, many shells already offer this functionality.
