DONE: Alternative shell for Open Cmd Prompt

Post by dustwalker »

RJ TextEd's "Tools/Open Cmd Prompt..." opens a `cmd.exe` shell in the folder of the current file. I would like an option to replace `cmd.exe` by a different command or command string. In my case it would be `wt.exe` (Windows Terminal). Other people might prefer `bash.exe`, or `powershell.exe`.

Thanks for a great program and best regards

Hi Rickard, please can you also make these changes apply in the terminal panel (View > Panels > Terminal)?

Thanks!

Open a command prompt or terminal window is easy. Communicating with a terminal and display it in a panel is much harder and requires a lot of testing for it to work properly. So it would only work with preset terminal tools.

You can already use Powershell and cmd prompt in the terminal panel (just like in Windows Terminal). Isn't that enough?

Hi Rickard, it's quite alright. No problem, thanks very much for all your work making this by far the best editor I've ever used! :-D
