Suggestion: include a shortcut for rxvt as well as for Cygwin, as part
of setup.exe?
rxvt is an excellent replacement for the Windows command window -
except that programs like vi seem to be expecting ^H for backspace,
whereas the key is actually sending a Del (^?), it seems.
The solution seems simple: just execute stty -erase ^?.
So, I have set up a shortcut for rxvt:
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sr -sk -title rxvt -e bash --login
and modified my .profile to include:
if [ "$COLORTERM" = "rxvt-xpm" ]
then
stty erase ^?
fi
That covers everything except rxvt windows started from the command
line. Does anyone know why rxvt has this ^H vs ^? behaviour, and xterm
doesn't?
