Hi all, I have found this good tip: http://www.mikaelkrok.net/component/content/article/44-java/131-use-cygwin-with-your-best-external-windows-text-editor to use my Windows text editor to modify files. I have added this line to my .bashrc file: alias edit="cygstart /cygdrive/c/Programmi/Crimson\ Editor/cedt.exe "$(cygpath -w "1ドル")"" I have only an annoiance, not a real problem, only an annoiance: when I start the Cygwin shell and it loads the .bashrc file, it is shown this message: cygpath: can't convert empty path Is it possible to hide it without removing the tip?
