Is there a solution? This will depend on which console app you are using. Assuming that you're using 'mintty' (what Cygwin uses by), there is an option to identify special shortcuts. Right-click the title bar of the window, select 'Options', then 'Keys' to see what's available. Clicking 'Save' will store the changes to your ~/.minttyrc file. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
