Hey Laumars - Console PM and author of the post here: Fair points in part, though … Remember that things like Remote Desktop obviated the pressing need for command-line --> remote command-line access for many years. RDP quickly evolved i

Hey Oliver - Console PM and author of the above post here. Glad you learned lots - makes writing it worthwhile ;) I didn't mean to imply that command history is not a productivity enhancement - it absolutely IS! What I was saying was t

Hi. Windows Console PM, and @zadjii's whipping boy here :) LOL :) Nice idea - though it turns out that this won't help. Don't ask me why we know this ;) We DO, however, (as @zadjii indicates above) have plans afoot to conside

Hi - Windows Console PM and author of the post here :) You're absolutely correct.I made some fixes, adjustments, and clarifications to the post this afternoon - hope they're a little more accurate. We'll be digging into this

Hi - Windows Console PM and author of the Command-Line posts here. We hear ya. Tabs are VERY high up our to-do list, but to get there, we had a TON of internal engineering and modernization to do to wrangle the ~30 year old codebase into a

Oh … and re. Hyper - its awesome and beautiful, but it's an Electron app which means you're first loading and starting Electron base, then Chromium's JS & HTML engines, then loading A TON of JavaScript which has to be tok

Hi there! Author of the post that's the subject of this thread here :) Two questions: 1. Does your machine use a spinning disk for its system drive, or SSD? If the former, that's slowing you down more any anything else. STRONGLY r

Hey @zaat. Thanks for your kind words :D Alas, deleting text is an operation controlled via the shell. PowerShell's (awesome) PSReadLine does it for PowerShell, but introducing that kind of behavioral change is unlikely to be possible

DOS had no kernel - it was just a bunch of code that ran on top of a bunch of PC-compatible hardware. There was no separation between kernel-space and user-space.

Although he makes some good points, I would encourage some healthy skepticism over claims and statements made by ex-Microsoft employees about a company that has changed significantly in the 3 years since he was sadly laid-off. I know this b

NO! Don't assume that just because the post hasn't been updated in a couple of months that it's somehow been magically "fixed" - it hasn't. In fact, its actually a really tricky problem to solve, and it'll

This XKCD is equally applicable to this problem - just replace "standard" with "Console" (or any other app for that matter) ;) https://xkcd.com/927/ And, no, simply rewriting the Console is not an o

To be fair to ConEmu, Cmder, Hyper, and all the other Windows terminals/consoles, we don't currently provide a way for them to truly become genuine consoles. We're working to fix that, but we have to clean things up a little

Hi - PM for Windows Console & Bash on Windows here. YES ... one day ;) We're keen to figure out a decent tab story for the console, and the feature ask is on our backlog, but we're currently fully booked completing some import

No plans at this time; we're focusing entirely on command-line tools & scenarios right now. Besides, there are plenty of X Servers out there, no?

We're working on traceroute for a future release. In the meantime, you can run `tracert.exe <ip>` from within Bash which will invoke the Windows trace-route command-line tool to do the same thing ;)

In the video, my demo was to take a POSIX C++ application and deploy it to a local WSL instance, built it, run it and debug it ... from VS.

Yes, we're essentially giving the Windows Console its biggest overhaul in > 30 years! It's important to remember that the Console was one of the first things Cutler & team implemented when they started NT itself, and it&#x2

You can actually manage/control Docker for Windows (upon which you can run Windows & Linux containers) from your Docker client running in Bash (or Windows) on the same box. Inception ... noitpecnI ;)

Even though I am a huge command-line fan, I am not sure that "everything they are trying to do [in an IDE] is easily done in the command line" is entirely true ;) While one can do at least as much, if not more, via a variety

Yep - that was the mount thing I mentioned in my prev' reply: We've not yet got around to mount support, but it is on our backlog and we're keen to get to it when priorities allow ;)

Thanks and glad you like it so far ;) We are keen to smooth out some of the filesystem interop challenges. There's a reason we've not yet removed the Beta label ;)

What OS build & Linux version are you running? Type `ver` at the Cmd prompt, and `lsb_release -a` at the Bash prompt. What do you mean when you say your node is "broken"? And I don't follow re. your Arch install on anothe

The OP asked if TMux worked on WSL, which it does. Now, there are many, MANY, improvements required of Windows' Console which is currently receiving its biggest overhaul in > 30 years! Bear with us while we give the Console some muc

Access network drives? Via SSH? Sure. Via Samba? Yep: https://www.samba.org/~garming/ If you mean MOUNT network drives, then, not yet, alas. But yes we're keen to build that support when we can.

Where is it advertised as "ready for prime time"? All I said was that WSL is likely now stable and compatible enough as a daily driver. Also, remember that our primary goal for WSL right now is to provide a local development envir

Great to hear - welcome to the party! :) What you're seeing with git is likely to be caused by line ending differences. You've probably got "Convert line endings to Windows" configured in your Git on Windows, but "C
