> No terminal emulator supports that. Because that's not the emulator's responsibility. That's your shell's job. How is the shell supposed to make a popup when it can only output text? It can't make popup windows. > Those are just hard to implement Presumably easier if you're using Electron though!

> How is the shell supposed to make a popup when it can only output text? It can't make popup windows. Not entirely sure, but probably in the same way like other TUI applications, e.g. vim, emacs...

Yeah I didn't mean TUI, I meant a GUI popup.

The bash shell that comes with Git for Windows is the best terminal on Windows. https://git-for-windows.github.io/

I'm actually using the bash that's bundled with git-for-windows as the shell in Hyper and it works great. Just kind of pointed it to that bash for easy switch and didn't really see a reason to try and find anything else.

May I ask what your launch options are? I've spend hours trying to wire up these two without success...

Yeah, the only thing I changed is the `shell` key in the .hyper.js file to point directly to the bash.exe that's bundled with git for windows.

    // the shell to run when spawning a new session (i.e. /usr/local/bin/fish)
    // if left empty, your system's login shell will be used by default
    shell: 'C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe',
If you want, here is a link to my full .hyper.js config, i haven't really done anything else except change the shell, font, font-size, and plugins.

Looks like I had been pointing at the wrong bash exe the whole time... Thanks!
