> Hi everybody, i just installed julia and i am still dealing with various settings,packages and errors. i have recently learned about julia shell mode and I was trying some standard commands with cygwin and cmd. everything works up to the point where i want to quit the shell mode. The backspace shortcut doesn’t work and the only command that i can use to quit is exit which brings me to a corrupted julia terminal [image] how can i solve this issue? thank you
