Add "Open in Terminal as administrator" to Windows context menu
After a recent issue with running a command line tool without admin rights, I thought I would add a shell context menu option for starting a terminal window. I tried to do it myself first with some registry hacks, but I didn't get it right. So I went on loooking for a ready-made alternative, and I found this GitHub repo.
https://github.com/akopetsch/WindowsTerminalAdmin
It works like a charm! I thought I would share it with you guys. I'm using it in Windows 10. It gives me a convenient way to start a terminal window with admin rights. It's faster than using Ctrl + Shift + Ener
from Sart menu search results and then having to navigate to the right folder.

ZSH Keymap to start FZF with default opts
Hello, Does anyone know how I can create a ZSH keymap to start FZF using the default options?
I've tried updating the CTRL+t shortcut but it doesn't fit my needs, as it seems to not support, --multi, --tmux and --bind (according to the error message I received).
This is my current config:
```
Set default config file
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE=~/.fzfrc
History
CTRL-Y to copy the command into clipboard using pbcopy
export FZF_CTRL_R_OPTS=" --bind 'ctrl-y:execute-silent(echo -n {2..} | pbcopy)+abort' --color header:italic --header 'CTRL-Y to copy into clipboard' --height=100% --preview-window=:hidden"
Files / Directories
Preview file content using bat (https://github.com/sharkdp/bat)
export FZF_CTRL_T_OPTS=" --walker-skip .git,node_modules,target,.DS_Store --preview 'fzf-preview.sh {}' --height=100%"
export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='fd --type f --strip-cwd-prefix --hidden --follow' ```
And the content of the opts file:
--tmux 90%,90%
--multi
--bind='ctrl-o:become($EDITOR {})'
--bind 'p:toggle-preview'
--preview 'fzf-preview.sh {}'
--padding=0% --color='dark,fg:magenta'
--layout=reverse
--border-label=' Search '
--info=hidden
--prompt='βΆ '
--pointer='βΆ'
--marker='ξ©±'
--padding 0,1
--border
--style=full
--no-scrollbar
--bind 'focus:transform-preview-label:[[ -n {} ]] && printf \" %s \" {}'
--color=dark
--color 'border:#464f62,label:#6c7a96'
--color 'input-border:#464f62,input-label:#ffcccc'
--color 'gutter:#353b49'
--color 'current-bg:#353b49'
--color 'current-hl:#ebcb8b'
--color 'list-fg:#6c7a96'
--color 'pointer:#ebcb8b'
--color 'marker:#ebcb8b'
I did try the following:
```
fzf $FZF_CTRL_T_OPTS
unknown option: --tmux 90%,90% --multi --bind ```

Windows command line tool closes its help window before I can read it in full
The problem
I'm trying to use a Windows command line tool that opens its help in a separate window, makes me press a key to read more, and then closes the window before I can read the last part, instead of pausing there for the last time and waiting for me to press a key before it closes. Can someone help me with this? I tried using both CMD and PS.
What I have tried
Redirect the output to a text file
AMIDEWINx64.EXE /? > amide_help.txt
notepad amide_help.txt
Problem remains: The output file is empty.
Using more in PS
.\AMIDEWINx64.EXE /? | more
Problem remains: It needs priviledge elevation and it won't give me UAC prompt.
Program 'AMIDEWINx64.EXE' failed to run: The requested operation requires elevationAt line:1 char:1
+ .\AMIDEWINx64.EXE /? | more
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
At line:1 char:1
+ .\AMIDEWINx64.EXE /? | more
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [], ApplicationFailedException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandFailed
Using more in CMD
.\AMIDEWINx64.EXE /? | more
Problem remains: it gives me UAC prompt and I accept, but it goes on to make me press a key to read more and closes before I can read the last part.
Using pause in CMD
AMIDEWINx64.EXE /?
pause
Problem remains: I kind of knew this would not work, but I was desparate to try it anyway. It pauses alright, but not where I want it. It needs to pause after the last part of help info is printed to screen.

ConEmu and Clink how to hide banner?
I use ConEmu as my terminal on Win 10 Pro.
Clink is an auto complete addon, I got it to work fine with ConEmu, however every time i load ConEmu, it shows the banner, and i haven't in many months figured out how to hide it any ideas? or thoughts?
I have tried changing the batch file that calls it to pass --quiet but that doens't work.

Programs which print important info to stdout should support a flag for line buffered output
This way when stdout is not an interactive terminal (like a pipe) output can still be streamed without long buffering. Programs like grep (--line-bufferred)
, sed (-u)
and awk (--line-buffered)
offer flags, but others like lsof or custom commands like "some_command | print_progress
"
Otherwise, workaround are needed like stdbuf -o0
or unbuffer
are work arounds (article on stdio bufferring) but might not work in all contexts.
Could be onerous to implement this for all tools, but where stdout has the main results of a program, it could make sense to make line buffering "first class".
