After .\cmder.exe /REGISTER ALL, could it be possible to assign a hotkey to it?

You can go to Settings > Integration and set this in the command field (upper section).

{cmder} -cur_console:n:d:"%V"

Click on the Register > Save settings

If you update to Windows 11 you will have to disable and enable it again. Also, it will not appear in the main context menu, but under the "Show more options" submenu due to the W11 new context menu design.

If you can use environment variables, it will be great. For example :

"%CMDER_ROOT%\\Cmder.exe"

Thanks for clearing that up. Also, due to corporate restrictions only cmder /REGISTER USER worked for me.
