====== MinTTY: A decent native Windows shell ====== Instead of messing with X or doing all the crazy configs needed to make [[rxvt_-_a_decent_windows_shell|rxvt]] habitable, just use mintty, which is part of cygwin.

No additional steps, no config files, it just works. ===== 'Open MinTTY here' context menu entry ===== Just install the 'chere' package from cygwin, then: $ chere -i -t mintty -s bash -e '&MinTTY here'
