Dave.
It should work, although I don't recommend running cygwin apps directly
via wincmd, unless the underlying shell is invoked as interactive login
shell.
So I just re-tested starting a fish login shell after updating cygwin64. As I suspected, fish has not been updated since the thread I quoted (Apr 2014), and the issue remains (with my install). Google doesn't show the maintainer on list since the announcement (Oct 2013), and his e-mail bounces. Cc'ing anyway, just in case.
You can find the example of how to invoke cygwin correctly by looking at
Cygwin.bat file on cygwin root directory.
I'm aware of how to invoke login shells and start cygwin, thanks.

Andrew: appreciated if you can confirm whether simply invoking as a login shell works for you.


Regards,

Dave.
