They are doing exactly that: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2018/08/02/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2018/08/02/wind...
- TimTheTinker 8y agoThat’s not a shell. Pwershell, bash, and zsh are shells. A TTY/PTY is the infrastructure on top of which a shell runs.
- amaccuish 8y agoThe point was that there wasn't much they could do to make nicer shells if the backing text infrastructure was poor.
- TimTheTinker 8y agoRight, but my point was that now that they've done the work on the infrastructure, a bash-like native Windows shell would be really great.
