Let's say you're doing something in a cmd windows,=20 then you want to go and compile git. If you run msys.bat, it will kill=20 your current window, and show a rxvt window instead. That's kinda not=20 nice really. If you enable the QuickEdit in the 'CMD' window, you mark with mouse,=20 the right-click to copy, then right-click again to paste. No need to=20 move your hand and hit Enter/Return. (Many people don't know about the=20 right-click to copy, but it's a much better work-flow) You can do all the changes (like changing the scrollback size and edit=20 mode) once, then store it, never to change it again. --=20 =2Emarius --------------enig038163DF763C3D7491A224AC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) iD8DBQFGsyjqKzzXl/njVP8RAuLZAJ0SROYmyXlwvwNIuj+pentCEqry3gCg2izM 5mk1PUNaTkc5LE4SjEAJbdk= =8pnH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig038163DF763C3D7491A224AC--
