@ab, well afaik we do not have the ability to define console modes on Windows, I don't see why
we could not enable it by default for those who may not have it for whatever reason on Windows 10+.

Unless you plan on exposing more of the Microsoft Console functions to userland along with the
codepage improvements?

@mlocati, have you checked the approach with 65001 and other multibyte codepages? Some good tests is
something we'll need. I'd suggest to integrate with the streams, and not enable by
default.

Btw i'm on 14393.51 and running your cmd line "echo ""\033[101;93m TEST
\033[0m\n"";" shows me a yellow word TEST on the red background. So it doesn't
look like something is changed in the latest version. Seems it's already enabled by default, or
it's not the vt100.

Thanks.

Yes, before the Anniversary Update, console apps didn't require that flag.

But with Windows 10.0.14393 we need to set ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING.

Yes, you're right; that's not a Windows issue, but rather the ESC
seems to be substituted by the bug tracker.

However, I just tried your command line, and I already get the
colored output (Windows 10.0.10586 cmd.exe). :-/ (I haven't
noticed that before, because I usually run ansicon, where that
happens anyway).

In the Windows console it's represented by a left arrow as represented here: http://imgur.com/a/heYHm (at least with my codepage)

By the way, pasting that string in the browser caused that char to be suppressed, that's why I
wrote "?"

> (where ? is \033)

The ESC character is likely being suppressed by Windows.
