I made my mintty changes by point & click experimentation - if you want to make system-wide changes the place to do that is in /etc/minttyrc https://github.com/mintty/mintty/wiki/Tips Configuring mintty For its configuration, it reads configuration files in this order: /etc/minttyrc ... etc. $ grep -i term .minttyrc Term=xterm-256color $ tput colors 256 $ echo $TERM xterm-256color > And if use vim, comparing with one Ubuntu terminal: > > I need to set "set mouse-=a" because the copy paste is difficult. > The colors are very bright. > The cursor does not look good when doing a search and moves over the yellow > background text. > > What settings would I need to make it look like Ubuntu's vim? I'd suggest doing a 'man vim' to find out where all the possible configuration files are & then copy them to your cygwin machine.
