They should fix Console or the PowerShell app first to be on par with Linux/Mac terminal applications.

  powershell is a great wrapper around bash in WSL

    Not if you want mouse support for Vim or descent font support.

    I think he means more than just fixing the ANSI characters.
    • wvenable 8y ago
      Actually, I don't think that was the article I was looking for. Anyway, Microsoft has completely overhauled the console subsystem in exactly the way everyone wants.

      I think the main note on the article sequence was the ending article (PTY support) but the ANSI support is nice too :).

    The only thing I've found close to what I'm looking for is WSLtty. You can't even get proper mouse support in Windows Console or Nerd Fonts: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts > Note: These both work fine with WSLtty

    While we're talking about Windows console / terminal apps, is there anything like Cathode [1] but for Windows? I don't really like using the console, so when I have to it's nice to have something delightful, with the CRT scanlines, static, burn-in and jitter emulation. The retro sounds are nice too, like the sound of the hard drive spinning up. [1] http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/ http://www.secretgeometry.com/apps/cathode/

      If WLS, then: https://gist.github.com/h3r/2d5dcb2f64cf34b6f7fdad85c57c1a45 https://gist.github.com/h3r/2d5dcb2f64cf34b6f7fdad85c57c1a45

        Perfect! I didn't think of trying to run Linux software via WLS! Cool Retro Term is exactly what I'm after, thank you.
