Hello, The default Cygwin.bat uses "bash --login -I" while the default  rxvt-native shortcut uses "bash --login". I do not see any difference in the behaviour of the bash shell in either case. Is there any? If not, why keep -i in Cygwin.bat? Best regards, Jean Johner -- Problem reports:

How to inactivate CTRL-S hold in a Mintty bash session or ssh connection

2010-08-02 Thread JOHNER Jean 066030
Hello, Typing CTRL-S in a Mintty bash session has the effect of holding it until CTRL-Q is typed. It happens that CRTL-S is also the Windows standard for saving a file (NotePad, WordPad, Office ...) so that it is mapped to :w in my .vimrc. Is there a way to inactivate this CTRL-S hold in Mintty.
