[[_TOC_]] ### Summary * Can't figure out what commands to specify on using a new path for terminal tool * Was trying to switch to some terminal which satisfies my requirements: ### Questions: * Is the command for making it run on some other terminal known? * What is the helper file on linux? thinking about: maybe it's easier to call bash on mintty than cmd on mintty ### Details #### Thanks * I quite like the "F5 to run" option in geany, \ how it abstracts the running procedure for stuff with that `geany-run-helper.bat` file[^helperfile], it's nice * and even more so the super awesome "Build Menu"[^build] including predefined rules, as well as "make with custom targets". thanks a lot for such efficient and flexible implementation 😊 [^build]: `C:/Program Files/Geany/` `share/doc/geany/html/index.html#build-menu` [^helperfile]: `C:\Program Files\Geany\` `libexec\geany\geany-run-helper.bat` #### Problem * for "f5 to run", as the command `cmd.exe /Q /C %c` [^termpath][^cmdflags] shows already, it runs with `cmd` <-- as also suggested by extension `.bat` i guess * and `cmd` runs by default with `conhost` , which is not easily themeable. That's why I want to change it. [^termpath]: Edit : Preferences (alt ^p) > tools > tools path : terminal [^cmdflags]: `/Q` echo off; `\C` carryout the string as command and terminate <-- `cmd /?` <-- [edu4java] <!--- inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals45 ---> [edu4java]: http://edu4java.com/en/concepts/ms-dos-commands-modifiers-parameters.html #### Tries & Attempts * I tried theming conhost with colortool[^ct] but, suffice to say, it didn't work * To change to mintty (installed via Msys), I thought directly putting `mintty -e` as in: `mintty -e cmd.exe /Q /C %c` or `mintty -e cmd.exe /Q /C "%c"` but it didn't work [^ct]: [src/tools/ColorTool] <-- [README.md#11] <-- [MS devblogs] <-- ddgo search : [light theme for conhost] [src/tools/ColorTool]: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/tree/main/src/tools/ColorTool [MS devblogs]: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/introducing-the-windows-console-colortool/ [light theme for conhost]: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=light+theme+for+conhost&ia=web [README.md#11]: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/blob/e1e6e662f9d00d55770c2c947066d7de18ea286f/README.md?plain=1#L11 #### Teminal's requirements | requirements | mintty | conhost | others? | --- | --- | --- | ---- | customisable font | v | v | | the font size corresponds one-to-one | v | **XX** | | default window size can be easily specified | v | v | | easily themeable | v | **XX** | ### Environment * OS: Windows 10 20H2 * Geany: 1.38 "Sulamar" (built on or after Oct 9 2021) * Mintty: mintty 3.6.1 (x86_64-pc-msys) -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3302#issuecomment-1256996552 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
