The console window is now resizable. Like, by dragging on the window ed= ges. You know, like in Windows 2.0. Wow! :) 1. Text selection and pasting now works line-by-line, not as a block of unr= elated lines. ...Just like every *ix terminal program since forever. 2. Extensive keyboard text editing. It's not up to the standards of xterm = plus Bash=E2=80=99s emacs mode, but it=E2=80=99s far better than they had b= efore. 3. Keyboard copy/paste, in Windows-native flavor (Ctrl-C/V/X) and xterm fla= vor (Ctrl/Shift-Ins). Unfortunately, no xterm-like mouse copy/paste. I=E2=80=99m not giving up mintty and Bash, but it=E2=80=99s nice to know th= e occasional dip into cmd.exe won=E2=80=99t be such a sharp shock.
