From: Kabal AT ece DOT mcgill DOT ca (Peter Kabal) Subject: bash settings for path name in the title 10 Nov 1998 12:45:42 -0800 Message-ID: <000001be0c3a$62991a70$f745ce84.cygnus.gnu-win32@ECE.McGill.CA> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: I thought I would share some customizations of the bash shell window (cywin-b20 under Windows NT) 1. To get the current path in the title of the window, PROMPT_COMMAND='cmd /c title `dirs`' 2. As seen in this mailing list, set the terminal with export TERM=linux 3. To get a prompt which stands out (reverse) among the lines of output This assumes the terminal has been set to linux. In the example the prompt is ">>>" in reverse, followed by a blank (not-reversed). PS1="\e[7mPK:\e[27m " 4. Customize the color of the bash window to be different than a standard command window. Use the shortcut to "Cygwin B20". On the bash window, right-click the title bar, choose "Properties" to customize the color. Also set the layout to have a screen buffer size height of (say) 400, so you can scroll back and look at output off the top of the window. *** As you click OK, specify "Modify shortcut which started this window". *** Now all I need to figure out is how to get the man command not to print (in reverse) at the ends of lines where it hyphenates.
