Has anyone found a (eg bash) shell terminal for Windows as good as the OS X one?
- by Anentropic
I am mostly using 'git-bash' which came with the Windows install of Git vcs. I think it is the same one that comes with Cygwin. It works fine technically but the UI sucks:
have to right-click the title bar and go to Properties to change the window width
most annoyingly... copy and paste and highlight with the mouse are equally cumbersome
In contrast, the Terminal app that comes with OS X manages these with aplomb and makes it so much more comfortable to work with. You can even drag and drop a file on it and it will paste the file path in at your cursor!
I have also tried:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win-bash
http://www.steve.org.uk/Software/bash/
http://www.hamiltonlabs.com/cshell.htm
None of these do copy and paste of text without cumbersome right-clicking.
I am specifically looking for a Unix-flavoured shell in Windows so I don't have to use different shells between my home dev (Windows), the live server (Linux) or dev at the office (Mac).
Yes I have Googled and haven't found one yet...
