This toshiba laptop L670 is starting to annoying me...

The page up/page down keys are all the way at the top of the keyboard above 
the numpad.

I constantly end-up pressing * and -  in an attempt to scroll.

It could be usefull to give git an option to use * and - for scroll up/down

when for example doing

git log --graph --all

Another possibility would be to ignore these key presses * and -

The annoying thing is after I press * and - but accident... git starts 
recording these... and it interrupts the scrolling... even if I press page 
up/page down that will no longer work and instead it will display at the 
bottom line:

--ESC[6~ESC[6~ESC[6~ESC[5~ESC[6~ESC[5~ESC[6~

This is in cmd.exe in git-bash.exe this annoying behaviour does not occur 
hmm...

I am evaluating which one I want to continue using cmd.exe or git-bash.

So far each one have their ups and downs.

cmd.exe has a more compact font, the colors are a little bit less 
cyberpunky... and there is no on-branch-indicator at the prompt.

I tried new git distro in windows 11 in vmware... but it strangely started 
mingw or something when I told it to use cmd.exe so that's strange... may 
have to set it up manually..

In windows 7 using cmd.exe with git.exe on path variable is actually quite 
nice to some degree.

Thing that annoys me in both is this:

git-bash:

E:

doesn't work.

cd E: 

does work

cmd.exe:

E:

does work

cd E: 

does not work. (just displays E: folder)

Exactly vice versa... also quite annoying.

I've started to prefer the cd E: method from bash kinda cool:
cd=change directory
or
cd=change drive

very cyberpunkish ! =D

Bye for now,
  Skybuck.
