When I'm forced to use Windows (which is pretty much just at work), I run an X server through Cygwin then use URxvt with GNU screen. I haven't found a Windows console application that doesn't play nicely with this when run through winpty, so for me it's the best of both worlds. I have used ConEmu and Cmndr, but I found them both to be nowhere near as reliable as my current setup (much like how WSL still can't touch Cygwin for my use case).
- nXqd 8y agoI totally agree with WSL cannot even touch Cygwin. I will try the combo X server with unbeatble URxvt :)
- peterwwillis 8y agoBut the X server is annoying too, because for some reason setting -dpi doesn't work for me, and the fonts render like crap. If I set fonts really small they aren't as bad. I just use PuTTY into a local or remote sshd as it's the least bad of everything I've tried so far. Wish it supported tabs natively tho. If this thing supports mouse, copy-paste, good fonts, and doesn't steal or disable any of my key mapping, I'll take it
- namanyayg 8y agoAre there any features you can elaborate that aren't present in cmder? I've been using cmder and am looking to switch.
