How can you enable mouse support in in Midnight Commander in MSYS2?
Currently when I click the options menu there appear only control sequences like 6;1M6;1m in the console.
When I ssh into a Linux box from the same MSYS2 bash shell, Midnight Commander works with mouse support. So I guess I need to change a local Midnight Commander setting.
I was having the same issue. I switched the terminal emulation of cmd.exe (under options/terminal) to "xterm-vt220". Now it works
with current [2019-08] MSYS2 and mc, mouse control is working fine.

Typically in most terminals I've worked with (for instance, powershell or OSX's built-in "terminal") if you start typing your next command while the previous is still running, the terminal will receive your keyboard inputs and insert them anyway.
With the windows ubuntu terminal, all my keystrokes while the current command is running are lost.
This seems to only happen when I run a windows exe through the ubuntu terminal.
For example, this suppresses all my keyboard input: "ping.exe windows.com", while using ubuntu's ping does not: "ping windows.com"
Is there a fix to make it so that my keyboard input is not suppressed when running windows tools in the ubuntu terminal? I find this valuable since I often being typing the next command while the previous is still running.
When I click 'Open linux shell here' inside a directory, it opens the default Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux Launcher.
Is it possible to make Windows Terminal the default WSL launcher?
So when I click 'Open linux shell here' it opens the Windows Terminal (Ubuntu).
This is an easy quick answer. No you can't. However the latest Insider build of Windows ships with Windows Terminal and is in process of becoming the default terminal used. So once that's done, then the answer will be "yes, it will be done automatically". We just need some patience. I would instead recommend taking advantage of the "Open Windows Terminal here" instead and set Ubuntu as your default profile to launch. Similarly, you could run a wt argument to launch Ubuntu that wouldn't rely on switching the default profile. This can be done both inside WT itself on the CLI and in the Command Palette or from a normal CMD/PS window.
I use manjaro linux and run applications from the terminal. Recently when I type idea (running I assume idea.sh, as this is what the top of the terminal says), and try to minimize and expand the idea window the terminal prints "Everything has changed". Is this something I should care about or is it just some random text?
everything has changed
It's a bug in the bundled JDK, should be already fixed in a later version: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-854
On a Linux Mint machine using Cinnamon, the ctrl + space does not work. It appears to do exactly nothing, even though the keymapping is properly configured in PhpStorm.
This problem does not only apply to PhpStorm, but also Eclipse or Netbeans, so I assume this is related to Linux Mint.
I have found the solution, which is:
disabling the shortcut for "IBus", which was set to ctrl-space after upgrading from 14 to 17.
If you search your applications for "ibus" ... you should see "Keyboard Input Methods" pop.
Click on that app, and the very first option you can set is the
keyboard shortcut for "Next input method". Click this, then "delete"
in the popup that shows. Immediate fix for me with PHPStorm not
registering any ctrl-space command.
Symptoms:
When starting Pycharm:
the keyboard seems completely unresponsive
the cursor disappears
menu items with keyboard bindings are greyed out
text selection still works with the mouse, but the cursor is not visible
This may be related to another SO question "pycharm with ideavim occasionally makes the keyboard unresponsive" but ideavim is not involved.
Set-up:
remote desktop connection to a Windows 7 64-bit computer
Windows machine has Xming running as a X-window server
Using PuTTy to ssh tunnel into a Linux box running SuSE 11.3
Pycharm v4.0.5
JRE 1.7.0
Further Details
switching between tabs in Pycharm doesn't fix this
no cursor is visible in the console, python, or editor windows
switching to another X-window (xclock) doesn't help
switching to another non-X-window doesn't help either
re-starting Pycharm doesn't help
sudo ibus restart, see issue 78860 on my flavor of linux doesn't do anything
Working fix:
Turn off the 'Tip of the day' start-up dialogue box, then re-start Pycharm.
I can confirm that it works as a fix to my specific problem.
It sounds like there's a known problem with the cursor disappearing: see issue 65637 and issue 79312. Based on my experience it seems that this problem can also be caused when Pycharm pop-up windows steal focus.
Hope this is useful to some other folks out there.
I am using pycharm in ubuntu and this thing worked for me. Just run this command in terminal. I don't even restarted. It worked.
