Here's an interesting bug: normally in a Bash session in MinTTY, backspace and Ctrl+H both delete the previous character, as expected. However, after running texconfig and returning to the shell, both the backspace key and Ctrl+H appear to just print "^H" to the terminal. It looks like this is genuinely the terminal trying to render a backspace character, rather than just backspacing, given the following: $ printf ^H | xxd 00000000: 08 . (To get that, I typed "printf {backspace} | xxd".) It's not clear to me whether this is Bash, MinTTY or texconfig that's misbehaving. Ctrl+W to delete a word, Ctrl+R to get (for me) fzf's history search, and using the up and down arrows to navigate history all work. Running Vim, opening a new Bash shell from within the duff one, or SSHing to another box has Ctrl+H working just fine within that process, but the bugged behaviour resumes when I return to the original Bash shell. Attempting the same thing but using Windows' cmd shell window, by running cmd, running c:\cygwin64\bin\bash there, configuring PATH to include /bin, then running texconfig, has Ctrl+H and backspace both working fine to delete the previous character after texconfig exits. Redacted cygcheck.out attached.
