Yes, you can use a current cygwin build of mintty as a plug-in replacement. Just the wsltty reference in "About" would change. |
|
so i replaced the mintty.exe in the bin folder with the cygwin mintty, but it does not work, i use wsl1 |
|
Hmm, so maybe your version was still based on the former wslbridge (not 2) version? |
|
yea i use wsl1
|
|
Using the previous wslbridge is still present in the code, however, you'd need to disable the line |
|
okay i'll try, where is the cygwin build source? is it here? https://github.com/mintty/mintty |
|
Yes, and you need a minimal cygwin installation plus packages gcc and make. |
|
It works! Thank you. |

logs is: commit: f8a6c4d : Sep 15 2024 Merge commit from fork To determine whether a path has to be guarded via the `GuardNetworkPaths` config option, this function first calls `path_posix_to_win_w()`. However, that option itself tries to follow symbolic links and hence would access network paths already before the `PathIsNetworkPathW()` check had a chance to enable the safeguards. Since network calls are somewhat expensive, compared to local calls, be careful and special-case that condition.

As the result, U+300C is not shown correctly. (The left half of the glyph of U+300C is expanded.)

The overflow meant that for example a BoldBlue setting in the config file (which currently has option index 262) turned into a TekForegroundColour setting (with index 6) when changing some unrelated setting in the config dialog and saving. commit: 5d7f018 : Dec 10 2023 new user-definable key Alt for option KeyFunctions (mintty#1245) commit: 267b0c2 : Dec 10 2023 Support lone Alt key presses in KeyFunctions A lone Alt key press in Windows applications normally brings up the application menu bar (which is why its virtual keycode is VK_MENU). There's no such menu bar in mintty, which relies on the context menu and window menu instead, so make lone Alt key presses available for mapping in the KeyFunctions setting. The action is triggered when the Alt key is released, but only if no other modifier was down when the Alt key was pressed, and if nothing else was pressed in-between. Also make sure that AltGr does not trigger this action or Alt code processing, unless the AltGrIsAlsoAlt setting is enabled. One use case for this is to map Alt to the context menu via the 'menu-text' action, to make it easier to reach on keyboards that don't have the context menu key. Another is to map it to ^[, i.e. the Esc key code, which might be convenient for vim users. It also makes plenty of sense as Alt modifier combinations normally prefix the modified key with ^[. As the Esc key's default function can be replaced in this way, also make unmodified Esc key presses available for mapping in KeyFunctions. One use case for that is to map it to a non-letter control character such as ^\, and then use that as the interrupt character in the stty settings, instead of ^C. That gives Esc its usual Windows meaning of interrupting or cancelling actions, and makes ^C available for copying. commit: 735d72f : Dec 10 2023 tune and fix click-opening URL (mintty/wsltty#346)
