Problem description
After far detach viewer/editor tabs not working.
Steps to reproduce
- Configure in
far:configvariableSystem.ConsoleDetachKeyto some non-conflicting value (i.e.CtrlShiftZ) - Run

ping -t 127.0.0.1) - Press key configured on step 1 (ctrl+shift+z)
- Open some file in far viewer or editor.
Actual results
Two tabs (ping and far viewer).
Expected results

Additional files
Was also curious about that. Extra note: the detached Far has regular Far colors (i.e. as if you run standalone Far), not ConEmu color scheme colors. It appears that ConEmu and Far don't interoperate regarding Far's internal console detach feature?
At the moment, when ConEmu attaches any RealConsole, the colorscheme from that console is always used. That may be critical for applications started outside of ConEmu, but of course looks like a limitation for Far's detach feature.
Is there a way to setup a ConEmu hotkey that opens a new Far tab with the same active AND passive panels as the currently active Far tab?
If I set up a Far task with /dir "%CD%" option and ... Far.exe "!ConEmuWorkDir!", then run it via a hotkey, the new tab opens with the active panel equal to the last tab's active panel. But I have no idea how to propagate the passive panel as well.
If that is possible, this could be the ConEmu-friendly solution for some use cases when somebody might want to use Far's console detach feature (of course, that doesn't copy the environment variables from old Far to new Far, maybe something else too?).
In 200615 it's still here. Maybe you can hint how to formulate FR to far?
