Help me make my windows cmd.exe console work more like a Linux terminal


I personally use Console2 with the Bash shipped with MYSYS-Git.

You can also use PuTTY and SSH to a real linux box ;-)


Use Console 2, perhaps? It's really quite stable now, and allows you to switch between cmd/PowerShell/cygwin/any other shell very easily. If we're honest about it, it's not likely Microsoft are going to improve the native Win32 console any time soon.


The only 'solution' that I have found to this problem is to install Cygwin/X and use XTerm instead. I use that every day at work.
