Windows Console Utilities

isvt - Windows console mode utility

A simple tool to report and change console modes for any accessible process. Run without arguments to see the mode for the current console. Supported arguments:

• i+ / i- → Enable/disable VT input.
• o+ / o- → Enable/disable VT output.
• a+ / a- → Enable/disable VT input and output.
• i/o=xxxx → Set a custom mode (hex or names, 0x optional)
• -p pid → Attach to process identified by pid.
• -h → Show help.
• -l → List valid input/output names and values.

Using the i/o= option, names and values can be combined - see help for details.

hresult - Print an hresult value.

Usage: hresult [-w] <result code>.

Looks up the result code as an NTSTATUS. If -w is passed, it is tried as an HRESULT (DOS error).

conevents - Print console events.

Usage: conevents [-v] [-bv|-ba] [-e[fkmus]].

The -v option sets virtual terminal input mode. -bv and -ba set up the alternate buffer. -e specifies which events to show.

Press Ctrl-C twice to exit.

darkmode - Is dark mode enabled?

Usage: darkmode.

resize - Send a resize event to a console.

Usage: resize <pid>.

Might not work.

scrollhook - Horizontal scroll toggle.

Usage: scrollhook [-d].

Must be run from an administrator console.

Makes the selected key function as a toggle - when the key is held down, the mouse scroll wheel will send horizontal scroll messages.

The -d option inverts the horizontal scroll direction.

See -h for debug options.

istty - Are the program's streams terminal devices?

Usage: istty -[p][ioe]

Using -p causes y/n to be printed, otherwise the program returns 0 for yes and 1 for no.

Also builds on Unix platforms.
