Wouldn't it be better just to use ConEmu and mintty? I looked at urxvt but the ConEmu+mintty combo had all the features I wanted and was more up-to-date than ur

I have tried it to run a cygwin bash shell, but I recall there being some annoyances, don't remember what anymore. But fundamentally, no, it wouldn't be better to run ConEmu and mintty, because urxvt is exactly what I like. :)

    Fair enough if urxvt is exactly what you like. Not sure what you meant by the colour comment though, both urxvt and mintty support 256 colours... http://superuser.com/questions/736873/enable-256-colors-for-cygwin-under-mintty http://superuser.com/questions/736873/enable-256-colors-for-...

      I tried the above for colors in mintty, nice, thanks. As for running mintty in conemu, it's still not quite right. If I figure it out, this will be what I recommend to people. But for me, I like having urxvt the same at home on linux and at work in cygwin. I use urxvt's keyboard management of its tabs a lot.
