I'm aware of Console2 and similar solutions, but I would really like to enhance every console window in my system. Any ideas?

A:
Yes, it is possible to inject code into csrss.exe. Is it a good idea? NO!
What exactly do you want to enhance?
The only thing I can think of is to handle Ctrl+C
Non-Square selections would also be nice but I don't think that's possible, even with injection.

Basically, I was sort of thinking on the actual console to be replaced by something else, a different window class. I know it's not trivial, and completely agree it's not a good idea but I still want to do it. It's not like I'll be testing this in production environments.My idea is: whenever csrss.exe invokes a new console, I would intercept the call and return the injected code.In other words, I want this: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/detours/ but need some piggybacking by someone that could point me to actual code. Please let me know your comments, I'm very interested.

I'd like to enhance the title bar to be a standard windows one. I'd like cut and paste to work in a more standard way. I'd like the window width to be resizable by dragging. I'd like it to be much faster when I set the history buffer to be 5000 lines. I'd like to change the default font, window and history buffer size. I'd like page-up and page-down to scroll the window. And many other things...
