When I copy a windows path from windows explorer's location bar, C:\Users\Administrator\Links, it gets automatically translated to one of the following:
Cygwin in Conemu:
/mnt/c/Users/Administrator/Links
Git bash in Conemu:
/mnt/c/Users/Administrator/Links
Cygwin64 Terminal:
(no translation)
C:\Users\Administrator\Links
Git Bash on Windows:
(no translation)
C:\Users\Administrator\Links
But Cygwin actually wants C:/Users/Administrator/nextcloud/diary
or
/cygdrive/c/Users/Administrator/nextcloud/diary
and Git Bash actually wants /c/Users/Administrator/Links
So each time I try to cd into that directory, I get bash: cd: /mnt/c/Users/Administrator/Links: No such file or directory. Then I have to manually change the path.
Is there a way to change Conemu's "translation" rule? Do you experience the same problems when using linux terminals with/without Conemu? How did you cope with this?
Edit:
The Git Bash is started in Conemu by setting up a task with commands:
C:\Program Files\Git\git-cmd.exe --no-cd --command=usr/bin/bash.exe -l -i -new_console:t:"Git Bash"
and Cygwin is started in Conemu with commands D:\app\cygwin64\Cygwin.bat -new_console:t:"cygwin"
Based on @cisco.prog 's answer
In Startup > Tasks
I added
-cur_console:m:"/cygdrive"for Cygwin and-cur_console:m:"for Git Bash.Then I restarted Conemu to make changes take effect.
Now when I paste windows path into Cygwin tab, it is automatically converted to
/cygdrive/c/path/to/file. When I paste windows path into Git Bash tab, it is automatically converted to/c/path/to/file.
