Run bash on windows in coenmu

How? Exactly?

Also, if it doesn't work in bash, why do you post problem here?

How? Exactly?

C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe -cur_console:p

You workaround issue with arrow keys, maybe you can come up with solution for this issue too :smile:
If not, please close it

I can't magically fix problems in Windows kernel. If it's not working in standalone bash (and it is not), it will not be working in ConEmu.

Hi again,

Windows 10 Creators Update(10.0.15063) support mouse in Linux Subsystem for MC, but mouse doesn't work inside ConEmu. You can update to Creators Update using Update Assistant for Windows 10

Can you reopen this issue?

@Maximus5 This is ConEmu issue or I'm doing something wrong?

@KindDragon Same here. Mouse works in bash.exe but not in ConEmu. I also found that if you go to Debug and activate the "real console", then mouse works there. Not sure where the problem is though...

This seems to be the same issue as

@Maximus5 Does mouse work in MC in version 17.08.05 after yours changes? Which connector should I use?

It works. You should use connector from ConEmu distro.

You should use connector from ConEmu distro.

Which? conemu-cyg-64.exe?
Its return error cannot find cygwin1.dll

Use predefined (by ConEmu) task. It's created for you.

I already used task Bash::bash, but I forgot to re-create the tasks! Now everything works. Thank you!
