I really appreciate your efforts.

zsh is simply the best things since sliced bread.

Here are things extracted from my .zshrc (I'm lazy enough to slice
generalish stuff to zprofile on the machines I use).

Not all of that is applicable (or clean enough) to generic distribution but
I hope it gives you some ideas.

Then I use this in a shortcut key: 
"C:\cygwin\bin\cygrun.exe /home/vherva/script/zsh-run"

and zsh-run is:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

DIR="`cat /dev/clipboard`"

cd "$DIR"

HOME=/home/vherva TERM=rxvt \
 /bin/rxvt.exe -sl 2000 -fn "Lucida Console-11" \
 -bg \#ffffe9 -fg \#000000 -cr \#777700 -geometry 80x70 -e /bin/zsh
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

So it jumps to the directory I have copied to clipboard (if any). I've bound
it to a HP multimedia keyboard additional key and there's an option to not
use "restore existing instance". Is that btw at all possible with the
windows ctrl-alt-shortcuts?

(Off topic, but I also have explorer and browser shortcuts:

www-run
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

URL="`cat /dev/clipboard | egrep '^(ftp|http|nntp)'`"

/e/program\ files/opera6/opera.exe "$URL"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

explorer-run
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

URL="`cat /dev/clipboard | egrep '^(ftp|http|nntp)'`"
DIR="`cat /dev/clipboard`"

ARG=$URL

SWITCH=/n
if [ "$URL" == "" ]; then
   DIR="`cygpath -w -s "$DIR"`" 
   if [ ! -d "$DIR" ]; then SEL=",/select"; fi
   ARG="/e$SEL,$DIR"
   cd "$DIR"
fi

explorer "$ARG"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

these are really useful eg. when reading mail in rxvt and encountering an
URL or \\share\dir\foo.)

Then there is the explorer "zsh prompt here" dir context menu entry. I think
better versions than the one I use (hacked up from old nt powertoy command
prompt here .reg) have been posted to cygwin ml, but here's mine anyway (I
should REALLY clean it up, but it works...):

zshhere.inf
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ZshHere]
@="Zsh &Prompt Here"
"EditFlags"=hex:01,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\ZshHere\command]
@="c:\\script\\zshhere.cmd \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\ZshHere]
@="Zsh &Prompt Here"
"EditFlags"=hex:01,00,00,00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\ZshHere\command]
@="c:\\script\\zshhere.cmd \"%1\""
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

zshhere.cmd
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off

echo %1> c:\tmp\cd

cmd.exe /c start /min C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c '. /script/cd;  HOME=/home/vherva TERM=rxvt /bin/rxvt -sl 2000 -fn "Lucida Console-11" -bg \#ffffe9 -fg \#000000 -geometry 80x70 -e /bin/zsh'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

/script/cd
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# should use cygpath (but I think I wrote this before cygpath appeared)

/bin/tr '\\' / < /c/tmp/cd |/bin/tr -d \"'\n\r' > /c/tmp/cd2 

cd "`/bin/cat /c/tmp/cd2`"

/bin/rm /c/tmp/cd /c/tmp/cd2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
