Re: copying and pasting in the terminal window?
John == John Salerno [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: John Hi everyone. I just installed cygwin on WinXP and I'm John wondering if there is a way to copy and paste in the command John prompt, like in Linux? Sure. But it's a feature of cmd.exe, not of Cygwin. In other words, you can do what I'm about to describe on _any_ Windows box. Right-click the System icon in the upper-left corner of the window; choose Properties. Click the Options tab (that's the leftmost tab). Make sure the QuickEdit Mode checkbox is checked (it might already be; I'm not sure). Now click OK a couple times to dismiss the various dialogs. From now on, in that particular window at least, you can select text with left-click + drag, then copy that selected to the clipboard with right-click. John I figured the cygwin terminal would look and act more like John the bash shell A terminal is one thing; a shell is a different thing. Unless I'm quite mistaken, you _are_ running the bash shell in the Windows terminal. If you want, you can install the rxvt package, which provides an alternative to the Windows terminal. Selection and copying work differently in it, I imagine. John but so far it doesn't for me. Does this mean I'm still John using a DOS prompt? (Despite the $ prompt instead of C:\)? At least one of the two of us is very confused. As I said, a terminal and a shell are two different things. I think you're using the shell you expect -- as evidenced by the $ prompt -- and a terminal that you're unfamiliar with. My advice above about copy-n-paste should help some; otherwise try rxvt. There might even be other options besides those two. -- This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel.

Re: Bash returns incorrect process status
This patch also fixes a long-standing problem that I've had: My .bash_profile is rather complex (actually, it sources .bashrc, which is where most of the complexity is), and at the end it runs a program called `keychain'. That program always does some output and sometimes does some input. Before I applied this patch, most (but not all) of the time, keychain appeared to run in the background -- that is, I'd see a prompt from bash, implying that it had finished executing commands from its startup files, but then I'd see output from keychain. Worse, if keychain wanted to read input, it seemed to hear only a garbled version of what I typed (in fact, the input that it wants is my password, and would always claim I'd mistyped it).

emacs -nw : M-C-K does nothing
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 alpha 1.3.20(0.73/3/2) 2003-02-08 12:10 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin Emacs 21.2-12 I have set CYGWIN to tty nontsec, if it matters. When I start `emacs -q -nw' from a Win32 console, I see these problems: * Meta-Control-K does nothing. For example, I type F1 c M-C-k, expecting to see something in the mode line that tells me what that key does ... instead I see Describe key briefly: , implying that, after I typed F1 c, Emacs hasn't even heard me hit a key at all. The meta key is not completely broken, however; Emacs hears M- as ESC-, which is fine; in fact that's better than some GNU/Linux consoles. * Emacs hears Control-SPC as SPC. * control-H erases the previous character, but I expected it to run help-for-help (like the startup screen said it would). This isn't too serious, since erasing the previous character is reasonable, and help-for-help is on F1 F1. Under rxvt, Emacs hears Control-SPC as C-@, which is fine with me, but the other problems are still there. -- PGP Fingerprint: 3E7B A3F3 96CA 8958 ACC5 C8BD 6337 0041 C01C 5276 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022) -- cause and cure
I think this is unrelated to previous messages on this list with a similar subject. Instead, it pertains to a problem that I encountered and solved myself; I thought it might benefit others to hear about it, so here it is. The symptom is that I was trying to start a non-Cygwin program that I'd just built, and saw the above-mentioned popup. It didn't occur to me for a long time that the problem had anything to do with Cygwin, since neither the program -- nor the DLLs on which it depended -- used Cygwin. However, I *had* installed those DLLs by using Cygwin's unzip to unpack a ZIP file. I then noticed that if I simply did chmod +x *.dll on those DLLs, the problem went away. I figure unzip set the permissions on those DLLs to 0640, which seems reasonable from Cygwin's point of view ... unfortunately, though, NT requires those DLLs to be executable; hence the infuriatingly obtuse error popup. -- PGP Fingerprint: 3E7B A3F3 96CA 8958 ACC5 C8BD 6337 0041 C01C 5276 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Emacs: completion of buffer names ignores case
I'm using emacs-21.2-10. I frequently want to switch to the buffer named `*shell*', so I type C-x b * s h e SPC RET expecting that, since `*shell*' is the only buffer whose name begins with `*she', the SPC will cause its complete name (`*shell*') to appear in the minibuffer, and the RET will cause Emacs to switch to it. Instead, when there's a buffer named `*Shell Command Output*', the name doesn't complete fully: after I hit RET, I'm looking at a brand-new buffer named `*shell'. This isn't what I wanted :( It's as if Emacs has decided to ignore case when completing what I've typed. Indeed, if I type TAB instead of RET, I see Click mouse-2 on a completion to select it. In this buffer, type RET to select the completion near point. Possible completions are: *Shell Command Output* *shell* Now, I can understand that Emacs would ignore case when completing file names on Windows, since Windows itself doesn't distinguish file names by case. But since Emacs does distinguish buffer names by case, I expect it, when completing buffer names, to ignore a buffer whose name differs in case from what I've typed.

I own a copy of Visual Studio 6, and am willing to install it, if that's of any use. And I may have (I'm not sure) a complete Cygwin development environment already installed ... if not, then if you can point me to an older copy of setup.exe (one that will work for me) I could download the complete environment, then presumably I could help you debug this.
