[Bug 53731] New: Wineconsole lacks preferences and menubar like most consoles
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53731 Bug ID: 53731 Summary: Wineconsole lacks preferences and menubar like most consoles Product: Wine Version: 7.18 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: winehq(a)regd.hamishmb.com Distribution: --- Wineconsole lacks a menubar with preferences like other consoles/terminals. This would be useful for things like setting the font, font size, and turning text wrap on or off. I had a look for commandline switches for these things with "/?" but that just tries to run a program called "/?". It's not obvious that wineconsole has any of these features if there aren't any discoverable command line switches, but either way I figured it's worth reporting this. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53731 --- Comment #2 from Hamish McIntyre-Bhatty <winehq(a)regd.hamishmb.com> --- Thanks, that does help :) Now that I know for sure that there are options to set, there should definitely be a menubar, and it should be enabled by default, in order to make the options discoverable - I'm a power user and I didn't find the options any of the usual ways, and I didn't find a wiki page or other documentation either. I'm a member of the wiki, so if someone can point me at the page (if it exists), I'll add some cross-links to and from it. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53731 --- Comment #3 from Eric Pouech <eric.pouech(a)orange.fr> --- well native's cmd window doesn't have a menu bar it just has an entry in the system menu; which is more complicated to emulate in Wine, hence the popup entry instead feel free to update the wiki: https://wiki.winehq.org/Cmd note: that only works for a standalone window; if you use for example 'wine winedbg' from command line, and right click in it, you'll get (if any) terminal's settings, not wine's console setting that may be confusing to users (as they likely don't know the difference) A+ -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53731 --- Comment #4 from Hamish McIntyre-Bhatty <winehq(a)regd.hamishmb.com> --- Yeah, that would certainly confuse me. I'll update the wiki. I know CMD has no menubar either - that's also suboptimal. They're replacing it with Windows Terminal now, though: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Windows-11-22H2-Terminal That really should also have a menubar, though. It's probably more confusing for Linux and macOS users for the menubar not to be present - pretty much all the terminals for those platforms have menubars. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
