Normally, people would probably like to stay in their current environment/window. Let's say you're doing something in a cmdwindows, then you want to go and compile git. If you run msys.bat, it will kill your current window, and show a rxvt window instead. That's kinda not nice really. If you enable the QuickEdit in the 'CMD' window, you mark with mouse, the right-click to copy, then right-click again to paste. No need to move your hand and hit Enter/Return. (Many people don't know about the right-click to copy, but it's a much better work-flow) You can do all the changes (like changing the scrollback size and edit mode) once, then store it, never to change it again.Thanks for that good point (staying in your window). Okay, tell you what: I'll let msys.bat start a cmd, and msys-rxvt.bat start an rxvt. Deal?
Sound good to me! -- .marius
