Re: Use wsl's bash as shell on Windows 10

Maybe to rephrase my second question: Why didn't my config work? I tried to follow the section from "help 'shell'". How do I know which symbols to use?

Thanks! That worked perfectly! How were you able to figure it out, as in, what was your thought process when writing your config? Asking so I can maybe help myself in the future :)

Hello,

Quoting my own config verbatim:

if has('win32')
set shell=bash shellcmdflag=-c shellredir=>%s\ 2>&1 shellslash noshelltemp
let &shellxescape = ''
let &shellxquote = has('nvim') ? '' : '"'
let $CYGWIN = 'noglob'
let $MSYS = 'noglob'
endif

Of course, you don't need has('nvim'), $CYGWIN or $MSYS if you have
neither of these.

Also, I'm not sure which one shall be correct for WSL and/or specific
Vim patch: shelltemp or noshelltemp? You may want to try both.

Regards,
Matvey
