Re: how to enable the very convenient copy/paste editing method in Cgywin?


Thanks, both! I will install mintty, but really cannot follow the next step
...

So far the Cygwin is launched through some DOS batch file, thus I don't care
what's behind. So if to use mintty, what should I do? Where should mintty be
installed(any directory under windows or extract to some directory under
Cygwin, which I suppose do not talk to windows)? Further explanations are
really appreciated!
