Not exactly true. There's just no good tool for it anymore shipped with Windows. You can do this by editing registry or use a tool similar to what I suggested in my earlier post <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/msg00171.html>. For instance, you can edit the default action "Open" which opens .txt files with cygwin nano using mintty as terminal, on double click. More conservative approach would be to add new non-default action "Open in nano" and do the same by picking that from the right-click menu in explorer. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
