is there a good terminal for windows? what to windows cj janitor with?

you don't need a terminal to manage windows. you just clicks some things and it does it all for you since that's what computers are good at. terminals are only for bad oses like linux

is that the one where it slides down from the top? that's cool

also i liked the terminal in pathfinder (back when i still used pathfinder) because it would slide out of the folder window and set your directory right there

very handy

if a shell needs that many customizations, maybe the people maintaining these shells should update the default configuration or something

yeah, there's certainly something to be said for that. shell programming is terrible and so full of gotcha moments.

e.g. in zsh (and probably other shells too) if you're in a function and want to save to local variables both the output of a command substitution and the return code of the command within the command substitution, you might try something like this:

code:

local OUTPUT="$(some_cmd_here)"
local RETURNCODE="${?}"

if some_cmd_here exits with return code 1, you'd probably expect RETURNCODE to equal 1. but lol nope, "local" (in particular, the first one) behaves as a command which succeeds in making the variable local, so RETURNCODE will always equal zero. if you want to save the command output as a local variable, you need to declare the local variable on its own line and assign to it on another.

IMO never write shell scripts except to automate the most trivial of tasks, and even then you can almost certainly find something better. or maybe I'm just terrible (mlmp)

urxvt is very good. i often just use xterm though, because the fancy multiple-unicode-font stuff is pretty situational and xterm is already installed everywhere.

dunno why people keep writing other terminals really, when the original still works fine and has more features than most of the replacements

what you wrote should (and does) work just fine, it's declaring the variable local and assigning to it all in one line that messes things up. or at least that was my experience
