First time post! Apologies for prob not being savvy with stackoverflow etiqutte just yet. There’s a lot of random stuff here, so I will definitely try to do better in breaking this up into multiple questions in the future!
I am setting up Cmder on a Windows Computer and am pretty new to using a Windows environment this way.
I typically work on a Mac and my usual workflow involves using iTerm in a way such that whenever I hit return it ends each line. I am also able to hit option if I would like to overwrite return and create a linebreak within command line on my existing iTerm setup (I think this might be the default setup at least on Mac?).
What I’d like to know is if there is a way to enable similar functionality within Cmder. Currently, I my setup is such that when I hit return it gives me this output:
ex.
λ ls
dir --show-control-chars
Volume in drive C is OS
Volume Serial Number is 4A85-4414
Directory of C:UsersChrisDesktop
File Not Found
Which is one problem – I’m not exactly sure what is going on here.
In addition, if i input the command:
ls;
I actually do get a response as expected, where the output all files in my current working directory.
So that’s kind of where I’m at right now and I would be eager to know if there are any ways to mess with this this basic part of my workflow.
Thanks!
PS.
I feel like this may be basic, there is a whole lot of new territory on Windows environment that I’m currently trying to acclimate to, and a lot of questions (lool) that I’m personally encountering while trying to learn and navigate Windows. so apologies if this is a basic question or something in the future that I would easily be able to search the site for an answer to this.
^ (If this is possible btw, I would be happy to learn what would be the most effective way to search for an answer to this problem. so I can learn for the future 😀 )
