Details
There's a couple benefits:
- Clicking on text no longer pauses the program
- You can scroll up while command is running
- Better character handling (UTF-8) compared to the default Windows console
- This works around issues such as
being unable to select text after runningfixed by 1751526fzf/hg histedit(though, these may have workarounds).
However, this has one major issue: newlines are artificially injected into copied text if it wraps around the end of a line.
This issue will hopefully be fixed later in 2022. Once fixed, then we can re-investigate shipping MinTTY by default.
