Alternative of Powershell or CMD application in Linux

LEON71 · 03-14-2023, 05:53 AM

Copying and pasting commands from a Windows Command Prompt or PowerShell application to a remote Fedora server can be difficult due to differences in the way that the two operating systems handle text. Windows uses a different set of control characters for text manipulation than Linux does, which can result in unexpected behavior when copying and pasting commands between the two environments.

Is there any alternative windows application that will work similarly to Linux terminal or maybe better?

hm. windows is not linux and linux is not windows.
And actually the implementation/handling of clipboard is quite different. So this is not an easy case. Would be nice to explain what went wrong (exactly what keyboard or mouse events do you mean?) What did you try at all? (how can we suggest anything better if we don't know your issue?)

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I was thinking if there is a user-friendly app that will be easier to use from windows 11 since I connect with the remote Fedora server on a daily basis from a windows machine. However, Powershell works for me so far.

Thanks

GNU Bash runs on both, but OS-level commands will still differ.

However, it may be that you're actually asking for:

Ctrl-Insert = copy
Shift-Insert = paste
Shift-Delete = cut

Here's an article which compares bash and Powershell:

Windows has ways to integrate with linux but in the end you are needing to use commands in the native shell you have on Debian and any built in commands and alias's.
