Re: reinstall Windows 11 every two months

Windows Terminal is a step in the right direction although the first thing
I have to do is change the default to cmd rather than PowerShell.

The problem I had with Windows Terminal was that mouse buttons weren't
remappable. At that time the feature had been requested for years, as I
recall, so I looked for other alternatives.

Good thing Konsole is available for Windows these days (via msys2), I
can run zsh and powershell in it. And mouse buttons work sensibly for
copy and paste. And also, it's my favorite terminal for Linux.

I don't mind powershell since it can do way more things than old
cmd. Someone even implemented nc in it which came in handy at one
point. Lots of other scripts around too. I actually updated someone's
"caffeinate" script to work again although that's now built into
Microsoft's Powertoys as well.

But for stuff I know how to do in cmd and not in powershell, I just use
cmd.
