Seething over MSYS shell - is it replaceable?
I need a serviceable shell for MSYS. This is my current dilemma: The default rxvt.exe has a scroll bar and copy and paste, but doesn't send control characters or arrow keys to a running program in the shell (like interpreters/debuggers). This is a real thorn when using the Haskell interpreter ghci. The other shell sh.exe handles con...

But this new build spaces the letters too much: most fonts I have tried are messed up - even Courier New (ttf), Consolas (ttf), or PC6X13 (fon). I'm stuck with plain OLD Courier because at least it's readable. Any solut...

Some examples of what I'm looking for: 'ssh me@machine1 "./executeMyScript && cd /developmentDirectory"' and then it gives me my shell back. The reasons I want to...
